Sorry to repost this, but I didn't get any replies, and I have new information about it.


Ok, I have an Alienware Laptop(stats below) and I THINK it has an over heating problem. Because everytime I get on it to either
play WOW, or The Sims 2, or anything ELSE besides solitare or MS paint, it will run for a bit, then shut down. I have the charger
in, it works, the battery is normally at 100%. Recently I've purchased a cooling pad to place under it. Another thing is, is that
when it CRASHES, and I try to turn it on, it will almost fully boot to the logon screen,
but instead it will flash a quick error message that says:

"the application failed to initialize properly (0Xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application."

And then it will turn off, and reboot itself. It will continuously loop, trying to boot and reboot until I unplug the charger. I've also
noticed that it will stay on a lot longer with the charger disconnected than when it's plugged in. I'm pretty sure it's not the charger
itself, but purhaps the port, because it did this with my old charger too. If anyone has any ideas, I would really much appreciate it.
I can't afford to send it to alienware, and I'm sure it's the cause of my harddrive frying earlier. And even after a new harddrive and
all it is still doing this. Thanks
