Heat problem coz system shut during the game?

[starney]

I got 17 inch MBP (Model Ver 3.1)2.4GHz, 160GB HD, Nvidia 8600 256MB, Leopard+recent update. Just installed WoW and play it under bootcamp windows XP in 15 celsius temperature room. Plus with 'macbook remapper' to make sure the both two fans in 6000rpm. The game running for an hour and the screen suddenly gone black the power been cut off as if some kind of overheating protection. Anyone got the same problem? Solution? CHeers

I assume you've installed Fan Control 1.2
and set the Base Speed to 2000RPM
the Lower Threshold to 60C
and the Upper Threshold to 81C
