some people manage to do it yes, however it will require custom bios and you are required to find an mxm foot/heatsink from another laptop
still this doesnt insure it will work right or will be even recognized
officially only mxm is for replacing
also looking at his GPU 8600M GS i am guessing his size is 15,6 or so
wich leaves little room for customising

BUT you never know it MIGHT be a freaking pcsx2 virus if you downloaded it form a random website other than the main site because ppl do those and they say that it's a guaranteed no lag lol i just saw that on the pirate bay and google anyways just yeah but most likely it's ur hardware...

well off course never download it from unofficial mirrors..
those .exe's are usually linked with a virus
most often a worm virus

...there is a rule, if your hardware is made so it can run under full load, there is no virus that could damage it, I heard many times, there is a virus that will destruct your HDD, that will burn your CPU, ...if so, then evem prime95 is a virus, that heats your PC abnormal lol, software can't damage hardware, couse hardware won't work if software isn't ment for it... it's easy like that...

This is most likely a hint that lappies are not meant to be treated like desktop PCs in terms of gaming...

If the temp sensors fail, the laptop is already living on borrowed time. It's a dead machine that doesn't know it yet, and it's really only useful for browsing Amazon/Newegg for a new one.
Gaming or not, as long as all the sensors are working properly there is absolutely no reason why any user code could cause the system to be damaged. Overheat? Absolutely. Break? No.

Laptop components are far more expensive than their desktop counterparts, plus they might not be as powerful and durable as the latter....and they are not easy to replace as you might end up voiding the warranty fiddling inside. Overstress and too much overheat are not among laptop's best friends.

Well, I know my self that laptops are not the top for gaming and emulation, but this one is (or maybe already was) a custom made that I ordered on DPC Tech site, it's a Werewolf in DPC Tech language (yes, 15,6"). Plus it has ONLY a year of life... I mean, I've played with Crysis, Oblivion, GTA IV, Pes2009, Mass Effect, FallOut3, Sacred2, Assasin Creed, SFIV, ecc. All of them without any particular problem. All of them at 1024x768. And all of them with the best custom settings that I could find on the net.
What drives me crazy is that my previous laptop, a toshiba satellite M30x162 that I keep for almost 4 years before selling it, is still working pretty well and to be honest I stressed its chip, graphic card, etc. much more than the Werewolf we are talking about.
About the origin of my pcsx2.exe, I've downloaded from the pcsx2.net official site and also checked with avast and spybot before installing it.
