Windows 10: Laptop shuts down if I'm playing games for too long

I have a HP pavilion laptop, and recently the fan sounds like its speeding up, and if I leave it for 10 minutes, the laptop shuts down. This only happens though if I'm playing a game, and not when I'm doing anything else.

My laptop shuts down while playing certain games

I'm using a 4 year old gaming laptop without batteries (because it died). When I play specific games like Rainbow 6 Siege or Mount and Blade Bannerlord my laptop shuts down completely. But when I play Monster Hunter World (I think it's a more demanding game than R6S and M&B) it doesn't happen.

 

MSI GT783R laptop shuts down when playing games

hi everone.

for the past week my MSI GT783R gaming laptop have been shutting down when playing games.
after starting a game within a minute or 2, the laptop will shut itself off without warning, then start-up again.
after that it usually shuts off again mid-boot or just after it loaded windows.

a few things i have noticed and tried:
1) it only happens when the AC charger is plugged in, both when battery is hooked to the laptop or not.
2) GPU and CPU temps are below 80c when the shut down happens
3) i already suspected an overheating issue, opened up the laptop, cleaned both CPU and GPU and their heatsinks + fan and applied new thermal paste (Arctic MX-4).
4) tried using a different AC charger, from my brothers GT780DXR laptop.
5) i formatted my pc and did a clean windows 7 64-bit install.

despite all of the steps above the issue yet remains.
i scoured google for the past week with no luck.

please help me!

thanks in advance
