Is it a gaming laptop design wise ?
Is the laptop chassis large beafy and full of air vents and good airflow , or is it small/tightly compact with few air vents ?
The chassis desing matters a whole lot with gaming laptops.
Yep! It’s a Clevo/Sager/Metabox p150hm. Well ventilated and pretty regularly cleaned out for dust.
Edit: by the looks of it, origin are just rebranded clevo, which is the same as my metabox plus a few hundred dollars haha.

It certainly is a gaming laptop – at the time I purchased it the 6990m was the single fastest gaming card available in a laptop. This was around 19 months ago.
I assumed it was unrelated but after reading several threads I have come to think it was perhaps connected to this latest patch. My 6990m graphics card died last night – I had been playing on the new patch for 10 or so minutes and the screen went grey with small black vertical lines all through it. I rebooted and the same thing happened one I started playing GW2 again, this time after even less time.
After this, I was unable to successfully boot my laptop, and I have sent it back on warranty to have the GPU replaced.
I figured it was just bad luck as the 6990m is known for running a little hot, but given the similar problems people are having with their GPU since the latest patch and the way in which this problem only seemed to pop up as a result of playing GW2 on this latest patch, I thought it was worth posting. Any information from ANet staff on this would be most helpful as it doesn’t seem i’m alone in this (even though my results have been perhaps more severe than others posting).
