    Hi!
    I own a Toshiba Satellite and a thing I saw is that the internal fan goes faster when it's using more the video , like in
    a GBA emulator or DiVX Player or when I'm opening more windows in FireFox and when the browser window has an animated GIF....and past some time the computer turns off

    what could be happening ?
