Overheating??? As this model had overheating issues?

I have read the same thing, but both J&R Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

The company sent me a contraption designed to prevent it from overheating. I haven't used it since I received that. (But I used it several times before I got that with no adverse consequences.) I'm not sure if they've changed anything so that their new version is safer.

Hello there, I haven't had any problem with it so I really don't know. Please consider that this model is an old model and very slow, I bought it 2 months ago and I will replace it because of this. Cheers!

Haven't had that issue with this game, but I have had it on older computers. Sounds like either power supply or over heating issue as others have said already.

Mine was doing the same thing while watching a movie. After a bit of research it turns out where it was sitting in my entertainment center it wasn't getting enough airflow around it. It was overheating. I swapped my shelves around to get more space around the body and haven't had an issue since. Check that you have enough airflow around it and that the vents in the body aren't blocked.

Not me, I run mine almost non-stop. Never had any over heating issues with it.

It seems to just have low heat and high heat. It gets overheated very quickly too causing it to turn off.

Have no issues with mine. My wife has already used it 4 times. If anything when we put it up at high she says it's too hot

Mine shut down from overheating too and it cools VERY well. The cooling does not seem to be the issue with this device. But the fan on mine broke after only a month. And the wire got caught in the fan. It's simply poorly designed. But cools very well.

Robert, I have no problem with overheating. The ventilation holes seem adequate, but that's just for me. I hope this helps.

I have not had any overheating issues. Sometimes the thunderbolt cable gets warm, though.

I have not had any issues with overheating. This is my 2nd Acer computer. The first I retired after 8 years mainly because it is much larger and heavier. If you are careful about where you use your computer you should be fine. What I mean by that is the computer needs air flow all around it. Not good to sit it on a pillow or blanket. Your lap is good or of course a table. I build and repair computers as a home business. This is were I have learned these details.

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself.Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

Agree with all previously posted answers. HOWEVER, this model blows heat very unevenly and develops a very hot "hot spot" in the center. I would buy a different model that has more even heat dispersal.

I've never had any problems with my computer overheating. The bottom of my computer has a lift to it on the bottom of one side. So that keeps it from laying flat & allows for ventilation anyway. Not sure if that helps any.

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.
