Ok , So I have a NP350V4C Samsung laptop (pretty good thou) , and i use it for gaming , in good conditions (Flat surface , icy house...)
Well, the problem is that when i'm going to play a high resource demanding game (Like outlast or the forest) it runs well , pretty decent fps (over 25 , it's a laptop xD) But in a few minutes it power off by itself ( For preventing overheat damage i guess) the thing is that when i play i don't notice the fan going faster , it sounds just like when doing nothing.
So i guess something is wrong with how the pc handles the speed of the fan.
I've Also tried to set the fan speed by myself but it cannot be done with any kind of program.
-Some extra data : I used to have w8 but for a problem in the HDD (it turn unusable , i had to change it.) i had to change to w7 . And when i played in w8 this never happened.

Any Help would be apreciated , Thanks for stopping by , and sorry for my ugly bad english xD

Like you said, it is likely overheating. What you need to do is to spray and dust out of the heatsinks with compressed air, if you have not done so already. Afterwards make sure all fans rotate freely, as fans can sometimes have the dust/lint blown into them reducing their ability to turn. You may need to disassemble your laptop some in order to do this properly.

Unfortunately it is usually not possible to use software to control laptop fans through software as most manufacturers don't ad such support onto laptop motherboards.

This shouldn't be an issue as laptops will run exclusively off of the power provided by ac adapter plug when it is plugged in. This is true to the extent that a laptop can be operated even without a battery inserted so as long as it doesnt become unplugged.
