I play TD on a Sony Vaio, Intel core i3 @ 2.13 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 64-bit windows 7 OS. Whenever I play, particularly on CnCNet, the laptop heats up very quickly and the fan starts spinning like the thing is gonna take off. The overheating sometimes results in system crashes, no error messages, no nothing - I either get an automatic cold restart or a complete lockdown, which I can only fix with a cold restart. Why would C&C overheat my laptop? Is it DDraw (I run the game in a window because of widescreen weirdenss)? Is it fixable?
EDIT: Forgot the graphics card - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470.
