"I bought a Gateway notebook NV55C for myself two years back, and within the first 3 months of having it, it started crashing. It would overheat and then suddenly shut off all in 2 hours of it running. This continued for another 10 months until it abruptly stopped around February of 2012. Now, in December, it has started up again, and I can't stand it... It happens so frequently now that I have had to start putting an ice pack (along with the fan that I have had since the begining) underneath it to keep it from overheating. If this continues to happen I'm afraid that the screen will soon have a big hole in it the shape of my fist...
NEVER BUY FROM GATEWAY.
EVER."
