I just installed a new fan in my HP Pavilion G6. I can hear it running and the computer runs great as long as I am not trying to run a game. Something as simple as a casino game causes it to shut down within minutes. I have tried to adjust the bios but only have the option to enable or disable. I have also installed speedfan 4 but am unable to adjust the speed of the fan... I also have the laptop sitting on a cooling pad.

What, if anything, can I do to fix this?

Just because the laptop chassis is cool to the touch or the air coming out is cool does not mean the CPU core is cool, especially if the CPU cooler got knocked loose when the new fan was installed. ;) 

Use something like Core Temp or HWMonitor to see what your CPU core temps are while gaming.

Is there a way for me to check the CPU cooler?

maybe your cpu getting hot instead while you playing games :)  use an msi afterburner version 3 to see your cpu usage and temprature while you played games ;)  it can show you on the left of top your laptop screen
