Laptop Getting shutdown while playing games

[rishavraj1637]

Laptop Specification:
dell N5110
4 gb ram,1 gb graphics card,i5 processor
Problem:
laptop gets shutdown in 10-15 after starting game. I got replacement for motherboard 3 times ,ram,processor and heat sink 1 times but the problem remained same.I had tried to run games which were running fine on my laptop 3 months before but they are not working now.I had tried more than 8 games they are working fine on the same series laptop of my frnd but are not working on my laptop.

Overheating. Possibly the CPU since the GPU will underclock itself to prevent any damage whereas if the CPU is overheating, the system will abruptly shutdown.

Download Speedfan and check your Temps. while under load.

Make sure you are not blocking your airflow. If the problem persists, get the insides of your laptop cleaned. Dust is a bigger enemy than you'd think.

Yep. Sounds like an overheating problem. You could buy a cooling pad, which could maybe make a difference, but the big problem lies in the fact that your CPU gets too hot. Maybe open it up and clear out any dust to help with the air?
Laptops aren't meant for gaming though!!

But they have already changed my cooling fan so how it can be a heating issue????
And they have cleaned my laptop thrice.

You need to download and install HWM to record your temps. If temps are fine at shutdown check drivers.

When this happens are you on power or battery?

I have recorded the temperatures it shows 66 max,i think its normal temp while playing games.I have reinstalled my window 3 times even deleted and format all the partitions and i am installing drivers from cd given by dell.

I always plug the power cable while playing game.

When it shuts down, is it fast like the power went out or does windows just shut down like you had clicked start- shutdown?

 

[rishavraj1637]

Yes its fast like u said,it doesnt even shows like "shutting down" when u normally shutdown your laptop.

GPU driver or hardware issue.

Get the newest Video driver from the card maker.

If that dose not work. Try older drivers that did work.

If that fails you may have a hardware issue.
