Hello,

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop, VPCF13WFX with intel cpu core i7 740QM I think, and a gpu nvidia Geforce GT 425M 1GB with 6 GBs RAM.

the laptop was working fine after I fixed it at a service place and got it back, I installed windows 7 and everything was fine I downloaded some games and started playing, the fps was totally fine no lag even though it's an old laptop, I played for like more than an hour then it suddenly shutdown, I powered it on again then searched on the internet for some solutions some talked about GPU drivers, tried that, just made it stay on for longer period then shuts down, and couldn't find any other solution until I did stress test, tested the CPU for some times and nothing happened, and then I moved to test the GPU I start the test with Furmark I think it's called, and as soon as the gpu get to 87C it shutsdown ( note : I did it 3 times at first it shutdown at 71, then 81 then last 87 which is weird ) so I thought it was the GPU until I just started playing and noticed that while I was playing the gpu hits 90 but it doesn't shutdown. at the end the laptop shuts down suddenly and never worked again,, could anyone please help?

this was afew days ago, I took it and I changed the whole cooling system and got it back, but I still have the problem, I play the game my cpu is on +80C , my gpu is on 80C the whole time while in game sometimes it goes down sometimes a little up like 82, for like an hour or 2 then it shuts down..
