Hi, so my problem is that, when i start playing game thats needs big resources, it just does automatic restart.
My laptop is HP G62-a20SY and i use 18.5Vdc 3.5A adapter and it gets very hot.
as i understand i need to buy 19Vdc 4.75A adapter? or there could be some other problems? for example sth wrong with my hard disk?
 
Either overheating or it's because it needs that extra power when you do something that requires a lot of resources and you're not using the right adapter, so it craps out.
 
no its not overheating, eh and that mean if i have any other problem i be able to see them only with proper adapter yes?
and if im not wrong it can be reason that my monitor shuting down when i install both video cards, yes?
