Hello.
Yesterday my laptop suddenly turned off. I'm pretty sure it overheated, since I realized I had it in a bad spot where the fan was almost covered. Ever since then I have not been able to play games properly.
On games like COD4 I only get 15 FPS when I should be getting closer to 100. It also takes longer to load maps then it should. TF2 is also pretty bad. I haven't tested the FPS but when I click on anything at the main menu, it takes a second or more to load and the sound starts skipping.
Does anyone think there is a solution to this or am I just kind of screwed now? Thanks.
EDIT: I'm actually thinking it's probably dead now... great.
EDIT2: Yeah I've confirmed that it's dead. I'll just have to send it back to Dell. If a moderator comes across this please close it.
