Gaming on a Normal Laptop

[94Rango]

hi guys!
I really want to know whether it is alright to play call of Duty Modern warfare (1) multiplayer on my laptop. i use to play for around 5 to 6 hours per day ( Not at a stretch). i was told by a technician that playing a lot of games would melt down my GPU (Not sure of the guy). i use my laptop mostly for my studies. can somebody please help me? I usually use a cooling pad when ever i use my pc.

my laptop specs are: (hp pavilion p036tx) (Upgraded)

Intel core i7 4510 (4 MB cache) 2.5 GHz (3.1 GHz max)
nvidia GEFORCE 840M
RAM 16 GB
SSD 256 GB
Resolution 1366 x 768 (15.6")
windows 10

Thank you in advance!
have a nice day!

Your GPU will never melt down, even when playing 24 hours a day. The laptops comes with built-in thermal restrictions that downclock or even shut down the laptop when any of the components get too hot.

What does happen of course is the longevity being affected, heavy usage logically decreases the lifespan of any computer or laptop. By how much it can decrease is a matter of luck, just as you can never tell how long a laptop will work when barely being used you can't really predict when one that is heavily used will break down.

I would not worry much though, even with heavy usage laptops should not break down easily, and the cooling pad helps.
