Okay, my problem is really weird and I don't seem to find it anywhere over the internet either. What happens is that my laptop runs quite well once its logged onto windows but when I was running Win 8.1 x64 there were times that it used to show some error with that sad face and it used to shutdown. Now on windows 7 things run great without shutdown(haven't experienced an unknown shutdown) But now while i was searching for ' how to increase dedicated video memory ' Someone told me to visit my BIOS but now when I goto my BIOS my laptop just shutsdown even if i get out of the BIOS its like ' too late ' and it shutsdown. But once I start the PC and let it run up till the Windows loading it runs well. I don't know what the problem is..

Okay recently I upgraded my ram to 6 GB from the 2 GB which came with the laptop.

Another thing I did was like some months ago. I replaced my FAN since it stopped working. But I didn't really enter the BIOS to explore untill now(after the upgrade of the RAM)

I thought that the Win 8.1 was at fault so I put Windows 7 Ultimate x64 which doesn't crash.

My specs:
Intel Core i3 2.4 GHZ.
HDD- 320GB
RAM-6GB
Graphics card- Integrated Graphics, Core i3.
Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Nope the BIOS runs well forgot to add this when I first start the PC like after 6-7 hours of cool down the BIOS runs fine. But after 1 hour of extreme usage it does that and it's not only the BIOS. The whole of the Booting up process does that if I delay the Boot up time that means if I enter the BIOS or if i enter the Windows selection menu and then try to start up windows, It switches off but if I just let it start up without interfering with the Boot process it runs well.

Honestly man, I think this has less to do with the BIOS and more to do with overheating. That blue screen with the frowny face is actually a BSOD (Blue screen of death). It just basically tells you what is wrong with your computer through the use of windows code. If you're using the laptop for 1hr of extreme gaming and then it shuts off, then more than likely the temps for the laptop caused it to die. I would send it in to the company you bought it from (depending on if you have a warrantee or not) to get it checked out. More than likely it just needs more CPU paste to keep it from overheating. There could also be a problem with the cooling system for the laptop as well. Hopefully this helps.

It just doesn't shutdown while I'm on Windows. I'm saying that while I'm performing something Extreme and get out of it but still remain on Windows then it's fine but when I restart the computer on BIOS it keeps on shuttingdown . But I thought of what you said and I'll try that out cause it looks like the problem started coming when I replaced the fan.
