Runescape on mac mini mid 2010.

I am having a problem mac mini, when i play runescape, sometimes when I am in full screen (1600x900) and the computer starts getting hot (cpu 76˚c) squares start appearing, not just in the game but i will exit full screen and when i move the window around there will be squares everywhere. I'm sorry but i cannot really explain it much better. Eventually the computer will freeze and i have to restart. I have never had his happen on any other computer.

Thank you for reading.

Definitely sounds to me like it's overheating.

Make sure your Mini is not stacked with other electronics. Nothing should be under it or over it. Nothing should be within 6 inches of it.

The Mini should be in an open space, not in a cabinet. If it must be in a cabinet, the cabinet needs to have forced air cooling (a fan sucking air out of the cabinet and a clear air path that brings cool air across the Mini).

If the computer still overheats, I would suggest using a table fan. Set it to a quiet speed and point it right at the Mini.
