I was playing my game and then suddenly it just cut off like it died or something. Nohings on, the fans are off and it wont turn on. I don't know is its the power cord or not.
 
You may have experienced a thermal throttling event, which cuts power to the laptop for some time in the case of overheating. Try letting the laptop cool off for a bit, then try running it again.
