Hello.
My computer is shutting off randomly while gaming.
I don't have a battery in the laptop. I just have it plugged into the wall. Maybe the charger isn't supplying enough power?

What do you guys think? It's Windows 7.

I agree. It sounds like since you're pushing your computer harder than usual with the game, it's overheating. I'd suggest, while the machine is OFF, take some compressed air and blow out the heat sink through the vents. You might be amazed how much dust those things will suck up.

[strike]Sorry if this sounds like an obvious question, but what do you mean by "compressed air"? Could I use a fan?[/strike]
Found out what it was. I might get some later or see if I have any.

Good deal. Guess I should have been more specific.
