While playing Skyrim a few days ago my laptop shut down with a black screen and the power light was on. I restarted my laptop and everything was fine until I tried playing games again. I found this hotfix from MS that might help me to fix this, but it wouldn't install (This update is not applicable to your computer). Most of the crashes did not generate a dump file but here is one that I found using WhoCrashed. I also used MSI Kombustor to stress my GPU and it crashed my laptop. Any suggestions? Help is appreciated
