Instant shut off when playing games

[Johny T]

When I play some more demanding games with the power cable connected then my Asus k55vm screen turns black and the computer takes about 5 minutes to turn on. Is there a way to turn this off because I am sick of my notebook turning off when playing games.
I have tried to clean the notebook.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Nvidia graphics driver.
- Next is to open Programs and Features then uninstall anything related to Nvidia.
- Once completely uninstalled, download and install the latest driver.
- Here's the link: nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
- Reboot the laptop once the latest driver has been installed.
- Do also set Nvidia as the default GPU.

When it shuts off, is the computer painfully hot?

Buy a tube of Arctic Silver 5, open up the laptop, disassemble the cooler, reapply thermal compound to the CPU and GPU, then see if it gets any better.
