K so im wondering if theres such thing as a laptop fan accessory sort of thing, similar to the fan set you can clip onto a PS3, my laptop is overheating alot about 80 degrees on my GPU right now and rising.

I searched the dell site for anything like a laptop fan but didnt find anything, does anyone know if such a thing exists?

80C for a GPU isn't too dangerous....

Laptops suck for cooling

You'll have to live with high temps

That error has multiple causes, bad drivers, bad chip or overheating.

Indeed. Its the first time I got the error and after 2.5 hours of WiC i was getting graphical errors and it was running at 96 degrees just before it crashed, im pretty certain it was heating problems. Could be wrong though.

Get some compressed air in a can, and blow the hell out of the intakes and exhaust ports on your laptop. (the place where the air goes in and then comes out)

You might be surprised how much dust is hiding in there. That could well be your culprit.
