I have a Toshiba P30 Laptop with a P4 3.4ghz ati Radeon Mobility x600 video card I have 1250MG of Ram PC 2700. When I play a PC game it starts up and I can play for about 5 min then the screen goes black. The laptop doesn't goes off just the screen. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Also it only happens during Pc games. Watching movie or surfing the net it doesnt happen.

Have you the latest/correct drivers for your video card?

yes I have the correct drive. I fixed the problem my self. Took laptop apart heat-sink fell off of Grafics card put back on works fine.

"....heat-sink fell off of Grafics card...."

Hmmm. Doesn't say much for Toshiba Quality Control/reliability......

Thanks for the info.
