My laptop has an HDD and an SSD. When playing games from the SSD, the laptop has never shut down. Playing games from my HDD does cause it to shut down. I tried it by moving Skyrim between my SSD and HDD and well it shuts down while i played it from my HDD. The game that always crashed is Battlefield 4, but i cant move that to my SSD because i dont have enough space. I've checked the HDD with software and it said is was fine. Could it really be just my HDD? The max temp the cpu or gpu has ever gone up to was 67c.

I have tried that thinking it was just a bad install, but it actually shuts down on all the games that are downloaded to the HDD
