I'm using a laptop, core2duo t6600 and nvidia 240m. It's 4 years old now and everything was running fine until one day it started switching off automatically.
I cleaned my thermal vents, formatted the hard drive, reinstalled windows, tried linux, nothing worked. It switches off randomly after 2-5 mins. Then under power settings i set the max cpu usage to 99% in balanced mode. High performance mode was set to defaults. And it worked. Whenever i used balanced power mode, my cpu got downscaled and it didn't switch off but since games ran slow, i minimized my games and switched to high performance and it still worked perfectly. Any idea what the problem is? I updated windows and now i keep getting the bsod. I can't reinstall windows cause it keeps switching off.
