Booting Problems with I8600

Im taking this laptop back on monday, but im curious to what might be the cause of my problem. Basically i'd be playing a game and it will randomly halt the system. Running the game in window mode i was able to see that the GPU was at 79 degrees (i've seen the GPU go upto 92 degrees without any problems *radeon 9600*) and the cpu was in the mid 50's. I dont mind the HALT of the system too much, but the problem lies when i go to boot up the laptop. It decides it doesnt want to boot up after the halt. It powers on, the power light is lit, and the uppercase Led blinks at me for 10 seconds, and then the laptop switches itself off. You can hear the POP of the sound,at the start of this 10 second fiasco, but thats about it.

What EXACTLY does that uppercase led light mean when its blinking?! I couldnt locate any information on it. This has happen previously to me before, with different games. Sometimes the laptop takes hours to come back to being bootable, sometimes minutes.

Damned piece of trash. Its only 2 weeks old!
