Re: LG DVD ROM

The model is: LG combo 16+ DVD 52 x 30 x52 CDRW 45218. I can't find
anything on the internet about it.
I tried some searches today, and though I couldn't find anything on the
same scenario, what I did find seems to indicate that CPU over heating
could cause the machine to shutdown. I haven't yet checked to see if the
video card was overheating as per James's recommendation.

I'll keep looking
