Not at the moment, right his laptop specs arnt the ones i posted they were the ones he thought he had, laptop specs are as follows: 512mb Ram, 64mb Shared Graphics card, XP-M 2500+.
I think your right DDP about the CPU, but would cause this.

i use to have this problem i have toshiba s206-s85 it's a p4 2.8
everytime i play counter strike or converting putting heavy loads on the computer it shut down but i found another way around it
i noticed that there's bunch of dust around the fan so one time i tried to blow out the dust(trust it takes a couple tries) and after that i never had the overheating problem again.
stop hoping, start loving.

also mines have two fans
try to blow on the vent or part where the hot airs goes out of ur laptop
or if u have warranty on ur computer, i know toshiba have these local warranty centers where u drop off ur computer they will fix whatever the problems and call u up when it's fix.
but defintely try the first method
also a chill mad will not work i tried it.
