Acer Travelmate 7520G Shutting down..

so i've had this Acer Travelmate 7520G for 3 years now.. its been through alot so to say.. the problem is, that it kept shutting down for no reason at all. At start it was because it got overheated and i found out that it needed ePower to control the fan etc. etc. the normal problem.

but yesterday and today, i've been having some trouble running WoW Patch Downloader, and a streamsite at the same time?! i checked if it was the overheating problem with the ePower missing, since i didn't had it on at the time being.. but i guess it wasn't.. the laptop was semi hot or above room temp. nothing scary like in the older days with a **** hot laptop and all.

so earlier today i've installed Windows 7.. cleaned my harddisk and it still keeps shutting down, the fast way, you know black screen all of sudden and comp off, even when im running a WoW Patch DL'ing program and a streamingsite..

anyone care to help :O?

You may need to clean out dust bunnies by the fan and processor. It still sounds heat related.
