Hi,
Last month I purchased a Samsung Series 3, basic specs below:
Windows 8 (64 bit)
i5 3210m
AMD 7670m 1GB
4GB ram (DDR3 @1600MHz)
750gb HDD
When using it causally (browsing the web, working, ect) there are no problems.
When playing source engine games (TF2, HL2, CSS, GMOD, Portal 2) there are no problems. When playing non-source games (BF3, Dishonored, Deadspace, BFBC2, and a few others) my laptop shutsdown unsuspectingly after 10-15min. I used to think it was overheating but after using HWMoniter to check system temps, I found that none of the components listed (MOBO, HDD, CPU) go above 65 degrees Celsius. Despite that, I purchased a cooling pad and it has lowered system temp by about 8 degrees on average. I used to be able to play dishonored for hours at a time and now I can't get longer than 30 minutes before it shuts down. Any clues as to what the problem might be?
Note, I get over 90FPS when I play deadspace, but only sometimes get 30-40FPS when playing GMOD with many people.
