Overheating. Remove the covers and blow the dust out with compressed air.

It's most likely overheating. If you haven't cleaned the inside of the laptop, a cooling pad won't make any difference. You say that you don't thinkg it's overheating but have you monitored the GPU temperature while gaming? You can use a software like HWMonitor for that.

Hi there Hrishikesh Masurkar,

I would also agree with the other guys and say that most probably overheating is causing this issue. I guess you are not able to turn the laptop on again for some time right after it shuts down. Cleaning the dust will be a good idea.

Yep, monitor your temps and report back the maximum temps reported along with what CPU/GPU

A typical overheating symptom I would say.

Its either overheating or your power supply. It could be that is is not able to provide enough charge for the game to play which causes it to shut down.
