Hi so I have a reasonable gaming laptop - about 9 months old - which runs some things such as Diablo 3 and ffIV on reasonably high settings fine but then crashes/freezes in a lot of other games, usually graphically intensive ones (although I can run them on pretty high settings with no performance issues) sometimes it's a complete lock up.. sometimes I can get back to desktop - it can be after an hour or more often about 5-20 mins.
Any ideas? I'm wondering if it could be to do with overheating? I haven't messed with anything since I bought it.. just updated drivers.
I have:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz
GeForce GT 650M/PCIe/SSE2 (8086-0166) (latest driver)
Windows 7 64-bit build 7601 [Service Pack 1]
8 gb ram
PC wizard tells me:
CPU: 3180.85 MHZ
CPU temp 59c
core 1 Load: 4%
core 2 Load: 6%
GFX 1: 47c
Load 0%
A side note is that I have just bought an xbox game pad to use with it which seems to make those same games crash even more quickly if that means anything?
Any help much appreciated as pretty frustrating now as part the reason I bought this thing was to play these games!
