Wallpaper link?
Yep, some of the 8000 series graphics (besides 8800s) in laptops have been known to be faulty and/or overheat. It's cost nVidia alot and has been at the forefront of the headlines since discovered, and if your laptop is still covered under warranty, see if you can have it replaced since it's obviously having thermal problems. Mention that you're aware of the faulty 8400 and 8600 graphics problems in laptops and that yours is overheating and failing. That should get you it replaced, hopefully with one that's not part of the batch that had problems. Otherwise, even if you lowered the temperature a bit now, it may only get worse later after the warranty has expired. They may be hesitant, but your PC that you pout your money into that is covered under their warranty (if it is) is failing and you want your currently faulty hardware replaced with ones that do not have the problem, so if you persist, you should be able to get a replacement since you deserve one. Good luck.
Edit: Cursed old topics! Either way, still have that wallpaper link?
