Hello, i have a 15 inch 2010 macbook pro, i5 2.4 Ghz base model.
Thing is i partioned 50 GB of my hard drive with boot camp and installed windows xp for some gaming, i have installed my favorite game of all times: fifa 99, worked perfectly.
Another good game, call of duty modern warfare 2: worked perfectly with great graphics, i was impressed
then i installed GTA 4, it had to start in 800x600 sucky resolution, and it can't be changed cause it can't handle it. It's ok i can handle those bad graphics, however, it was only 30 seconds of me playing the game and Notebook Hardware Control software i installed just in case showed up a pop up window in the middle of the game. It said my CPU exceeded 95 degrees and it was going to shut down in 30 seconds. Also i was pushing the "w" key to drive a car, my finger burnt
top left corner of the keyboard was extremely hot. It's generally hot anyways but this was extreme. I ctrl+alt+del'ed and quit GTA 4, got rid of the shut down.
Why did that happen? I mean, it's just GTA IV. Would it harm my computer? Cause i am loving everything about it, even boot camp it's just this heat issue and tap to click doesn't work.
thanks in advance for the answers
