Have a look in the other thread as posted - if you are still having trouble - tell us which laptop it is.....

btw - those coolers are very good

But - as has also been stated - it should be ok really without one.... I've been watching dvd's AND playing games etc for the last week on my inspiron 5100 and it hasn't restarted yet.

The main thing to check would be the fan (is it still going round?) and maybe you can blow some air (with a can of air) in the vents to see if they are clogged with dust.
