It's an HP HDX 18 and it keeps shutting down whenever some intense things start to happen. For example I'm playing World of Warcraft running around just fine, but whenever I go into a dunegon the laptop just shuts down, no warnings at all. When I'm playing Eve online and a lot of ships load on screen, it shuts down. When I'm playing Empire Total War and I fire a massive volley at the French, it shuts down. I can play Minecraft with no problems and some maps on Company of Heroes.
The temps are around 33-40c when it's idle and doesn't go that far over 60c when something is happening so I doubt it's overheating. I've tried turning the graphics all the way down and I still get the same problem.
I've just realised that it started when the power adapter was changed (old one got water in it and died) which I think was 19v but the one now is set to 18v. No idea if that would be the problem, but I hope it is because i can fix it quick =]
Also, It's only been run off the power. I've taken the battery out because it died a long time ago.
