I have one of the new Macbook Pros.

It seems when I start Windows, and start a game, the 9600gt starts churning out a tremendous amount of heat, but the fans seems slow in catching up.

The screen in the game will just go black and the machine will lock up. It'll do this two or three times, until the machine is warm enough that the fans come on.

Alternately, I can start the game and just don't do anything (sit around at a menu for example), this lets the machine warm more slowly, the fans kick on, and I'm good to go.

Anyone else having these issues? Any suggestions? I believe there is no direct way to control fanspeed in XP - and I don't want that anyway. I want it to control it's own fan speed better.

Tips?
