[Ti] Heat up ...shut down-need information

[John McGibney]

Yes there is some sort of thermal protection that shuts the computer  
down if it gets too hot inside. It happened once to me.
And the water probably insulated the bottom causing the overheat. I  
bought a cooling pad that I use when running processor/video  
intensive apps.
