[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1000471"] Thanks for the clarification. From what you've said previously, I don't think that's the problem at all. If the fans that cool the machine aren't working correctly, THAT is the problem. You obviously cannot run Windows "playing a game" for very long before the processor gets too hot. This would be equally true on any Windows machine. Neither of which is possible, so just forget it. The only thing you can replace the motherboard on that Mac with is another exactly the same motherboard from an identical model. No upgrade. You are right. It will. To the best of my knowledge, the fans on the MacBook are custom-made for it and cannot be replaced except by grafting in the identical fans from an identical model. So, again, I'd say this is the source of all your issues. [is too boggled at the incredible danger this user is putting himself in to come up with a suitable reply] You SERIOUSLY need to stop mucking about with this thing and either take it in to get properly fixed or replace the machine entirely. From your description I wouldn't have that thing in my house at all, too much of a fire/explosion hazard. [/QUOTE]
