Hi,

So i have a problem with my laptop. Idk why but it shuts down whenever I play graphic-intensive (kinda) games. It completely shuts down literally after 5-10 seconds of play. I recently tried to disable my graphic card then tried to play, and it worked. It didn't shut down. But I get less than 10 fps. I've tried uninstalling my graphics card then reinstalling it again but the results are still the same.

Info:

AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series with Intel Core i3-3120 CPU@2.5GHz
4 GB RAM (3.90 GB usable)


Thanks!
