like you've bought a problem laptop. Do the search and you'll see what I
mean.
Did that yesterday, found the same site you did, bought the cooler stand,
now it seems to be working fine. Turns out I incorrectly concluded that it
had overheated before. There is a setting that defaults to turning itself
to sleep mode if all four processor cores are working at full bore for an
hour. I reset that to never sleep while the power cord is plugged in, and
it ran all night last night, and returned a buttload of useful results.

I will run it full bore for a few nights. If it works, then I will be
satisfied with it.
