Video of #1 Skiing. Large file (150 Megs), it will take a while to load (2-5 Minutes). Not sure why but no sound yet. Need to figure that one out.

2011 07 31: USA : DELL XPS DUST-OFF :
After a while a laptop will have dust build-up inside. As a result the heat will be trapped inside, the components will heat-up. The CPU wil detect that it is too hot (usually around 95c) and the laptop will shut-off automatically to stop the components from getting damaged. Usually after 3-5 years you should lift the hood and clean-up the dust. These are pics of my DELL XPS as I cleaned it up back in May 2010. This is really for Chris & Cheryl to have a look since they are having the same problem with their HP Pavillion. The symptoms are pretty obvious as usually the ''lap''top has become too hot to even put it on your laps without frying your gonads. If you are not convinced the temp is too high you can download some software on the internet that monitors temps inside your Laptop. Normally you should be running around 55c-60c for the CPU.
In the case of the XPS, the graphics card is on top of the CPU and the exhaust outlets are in serial config with the fan (CPU exhaust closest to the fan, then the graphics card's exhaust). So this area tends to clog up with dust twice as fast. So the laptop saves space by doing this but you are more prone to dust build-up. After cleaning-up the temp on the Laptop went from 95-100 back down to a normal 55c-60c and the laptop worked as normal. Then came the driver problems and the graphics card issues, but that is another story :-)
