Good Morning,
First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any help you may provide. I purchased a Sager NP6110 a few years ago as a portable gaming laptop. It served me well for the first few months of owning it. I installed things like throttlestop to try and push it to the limit, and I enjoyed it. I had to go away for police academy for a few months, and was not allowed to have it in the dorms, so I let a family member borrow it because she needed something portable. After about a year, I got restless and wanted my laptop back and when it was returned to me the second I booted up a game it would completely turn off. There was no BSOD, no driver failure, nothing. I have since fiddled around with throttlestop, basically turning it off, but I still have the same problem with gaming on the laptop. I'm not sure what to do, and I'm desperate for some advice.
GPU/CPU:
nVidia GT 650m 2GB DDR3 with Optimus switchable graphics
Intel Ivy Bridge i7-3610QM quad core mobile CPU
It tends to run a bit on the hotter side, but I guess that's what you get when you put so many heat producing items in such a small case.
I am thinking of just doing a clean install of Windows 8 to the machine, and making sure everything is at its shipped specs, do you think that would help? Its 0919 hrs right now on 5/1/15, please forgive if you need information and I do not reply in a timely fashion, as I am getting ready for work.
Thanks again.
