My computer is a toaster.
No really, it overheats after about 20 minutes of gaming and it automatically shuts down. So now I have to put an ice pack under the computer.

If its a laptop, try removing the bottom and make shure theres some additional airflow, like f.e. with an old pc fan and some books Worked for me.

[jarhead2000]

The computer is a laptop, thanks for the advice. Trying it now.

@jarhead2000 When I play any game using the cube engine in fullscreen on my computer, it overheat and shutdown after about 15 minutes of gaming.

This is why I play them windowed with 800x600 as resolution, and it work without problem.
