Overheating laptop most likely from graphics card

[Connor Evans]

Hi, I have a Samsung Series 7 laptop (link to model)
http/www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Series-Bluetooth-Windows-Premium/dp/B0065O85UM
It is two years old and roughly 6 months ago I started experiencing overheating issues which caused my laptop to overheat, I took to an IT centre to get cleaned out and stress tested to make sure nothing was damaged and it was all good, however the overheating issues have continued, the guy at the centre said it will get warm above the graphics card but it gets red hot (hurts to touch) above the graphics card, I have a laptop fan mat I keep running when using the computer but it still overheats and crashes my laptop, obviously I want to avoid potential damage so I was wondering what other solutions there are, I play games on it quite frequently that are graphics intensive so is it possible the graphics card needs replacing?
Thanks, Connor

samsung do not make the best quality hardware, they have good numbers on paper....
just return it repeatedly and after 3rd time you get your money back. any laptop should play any game and not crash nomatter the fps, gamer or otherwise

I know you paid them to clean it out, but.....dust. Or the GPU fan is busted.

I had the same problem with an Acer laptop. A cooling pad solved the issue for me.
