I apologize if this has been covered, but I can’t find it if it is …

When I run Photoshop CS3 on my laptop I can work on an image for 5 or 10 minutes or so and then it just shuts down! I don’t even get an error message!

On my desktop machine I have no problems at all.

Any suggestions?

The laptop configuration is:

Dell XPS m1530 – Windows Vista SP1

CPU : Core2 Duo 2.6Ghz

Memory 4gb

Hard drive : 180 gb with 124 gb free

Graphics editing (or video editing or some games) really make a computer work hard

Do you have a system monitor that shows the internal temperature?

I know that over in the Premiere forum there are sometimes discussions of adding extra cooling… easy to do with a desktop case, but even for a laptop there are devices which sit under a laptop with built-in fans to suck the hot air down and out of the laptop and then out the sides of the device

Hmmm… thanks for your reply, but I’m not sure I understand. And maybe I wasn’t explaining the situation very clearly. It’s not the entire system that shuts down, but Photoshop that shuts down. Would a high temperature situation cause this?
