Okay, over the past few weeks I have been trying to solve an issue that has occurred as of late. My laptop is overheating (or what I believe to be) and just turning off, no BSOD, no error, just off. It only occurs when I am playing games. normal Windows usage does not make it happen. So far, I have done the following things:
Updated Graphics Driver (To see if it was just the graphic card)
Used an Air Cleaner to blow out any dust (normally, I do this once a month anyway, but hey, its summer.
Put a Coolermaster SF-19 Storm below it to get better airflow and to get better circulation of cooler air.
Disable 1 of the graphic cards to reduce amount of heat the laptop produces
Used Air Cleaner to blow out graphic cards individually (They are MXM so can be removed and plugged back in)
Laptop:
Malibal x7200 Nine
Intel Core I7 980
Nvidia GTX 580m x2 (SLI is currently shut off)
12 GB RAM
120GB Patriot Wildfire SSD
500GB Seagate Momentous XT Hybrid
1TB WD 5400 RPM HDD
Windows 7 Pro
I spent good money on the laptop. It is about 2 years old now. Any help is greatly aprreciated.
