Laptop SHUTDOWNING while playing games

Hi, Abner Fedalis Joseph

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

We understand that you have encountered a problem with your laptop shutting down automatically when you play games, do you get a blue screen when your computer shuts down abnormally?

If there is no blue screen error report just purely accidental shutdown, the reason is likely to be your hardware problems, first of all, please check whether your graphics card driver is properly installed, please go to the official website of the manufacturer of your graphics card to download the update. Next, we suggest you try the following troubleshooting:

1. Check the power settings

Before you play a game, please go to Control Panel - Power Options and select High Performance Mode, which will ensure that the performance will not affect your experience when you play the game.

If your laptop has its own power mode control software, please adjust it to performance mode in it.



2. Check for cooling issues:

Since your computer is a laptop, you need to prioritize checking for cooling issues. Please check your laptop fan for dust blockage, replace the CPU cooling silicone grease, as well as replace the GPU cooling paste.

Given that the execution of this step requires the disassembly of the computer, please follow the manual of your computer, or ask a professional technician to operate, so as not to damage your device. At the same time, after disassembling the computer, you can also check whether the laptop battery is not a problem, as sudden power outages and insufficient power supply in high-load mode often lead to this problem.



3. Check the hardware

Since the notebook is bulk memory, please check whether it is caused by the memory contact.

And the motherboard, you can enter the





In addition, you can also use other third-party software to monitor the temperature of your hardware, playing games suddenly shut down and computer temperature is often too high to cause shutdown protection related to monitoring the game to play whether the high temperature load.



I hope the above measures will help you!

Will playing games damage and overheat my laptop?

Hi,

It is entirely possible that playing games can overheat your laptop...

Using high CPU and\or graphics generates a lot of heat whether playing games, or running some other process..

Laptops don't have much in the way of cooling capability...

You could investigate some type of temperature monitoring program that displays the temps on the taskbar... Personally I use CoreTemp for this, but I don't feel comfortable suggesting that you do...

Some od the newer versions don't seem to work properly... I found an older one that does.. It seems to vary by the machines hardware setup...
