I am having the same problem. It is only when I am running a graphics intense program that it happens for me though.

Try disabling hardware acceleration globally and see if it helps any. Right click on your desktop, choose properties, settings tab, advanced, troubleshooting, and drag the bar all the way to the left. It might not work until you reboot though. And note that turning off hardware acceleration will take a bit hit on video performance, so use it only when needed.

P.S: Are you guys having this on Radeon cards?

I’m running a Radeon Mobility 9000. I put a fan next to the air inlet on my laptop and it seems to run a little longer before the issue starts so I’m thinking that it’s overheating.
