I recently downloaded an update for my video drivers and after doing that I went to play a game. When I attempted to do this about 10 minutes into the session my computer shut down. After a few more attempts with a few different games it was still doing it. I have tried it with War Thunder, Garry's Mod, and Team Fortress 2. This does not occur when using programs such as Chrome or Internet Explorer. Before someone says it is shutting down because of heating, this is not the issue as my computer will not start up for around 5 minutes after overheating but the way it is shutting off with this event lets me start up right away. I have an Asus Republic of Gamers built laptop that runs ATI Mobility RADEON HD 5870 Graphics, intel CORE i7, and Windows 7. Other information at:

What I just realized not too long ago is that it is running just fine with Garry's Mod and that it is the only game I have played on it other then Terraria which does not use much of my CPU. I do not know how long it has been doing this because I have been focusing on Garry's Mod lately.
