Now for the crashes: It is NOT the blue screen of doom How the crashes occur will be when I'm in the middle of a movie and all of a sudden the screen will fade to black, the fans will burst for a few seconds at high speed and the computer just shuts down. Now the fans were never running at a high speed during the movie in the first place so this is all too weird to me. I thought I had a virus (and I've been currently working with another tech specialist who has been "helping" me but NOT on this issue--he hasn't even addressed it. The website (with all the "virus" info I've had is here: http://kickenhardwar...ead.php?t=19716
I really hope we can get to the bottom of this and why it's occurring

If you want to check that your laptop is not overheating without taking it apart you could always download a demo copy of Everest :

Just install it and open it. Go to Computer and then Sensor. Try watching video again and see if the temperature increases dramatically. It might be worth letting us know the starting temperature and then the temperature just before it crashes.
To be honest, though, it might be easiest to take it to a local PC repair shop.
