It keeps pushing coolant into the overflow... I THINK it might be an air pocket... gotta get a block tester tomorrow... Bad thermostat maybe?

Our comp shuts itsself down occasionally too. Most times because it's been sitting in the sun and gets too hot. We need to build some sort of box or something to shade it. They make laptop fan pads to help keep laptops cool for $15-$20, it will probably help you out.

And I can tell its opening because the fans are kicking on, and you can feel the coolant moving through the hoses (Temps changing)

i hear alot about Acers and how then tend to run hot... but i've had this laptop stay on well over 24 hours with no issues. to be safe i'm going to shut it off at every checkpoint

I run my mac and my dell 24/7 at home, but the heat isn't an issue there. Heat will kill battery life, but since we are all running on vehicle juice that shoudln't be a problem.
I may drag the laptop and cam around the checkpoints!

I'll have the laptop broadcasting video from each checkpoint too.
