1) Verify that every driver, without exception is for your laptop - acquired either from Lenovo's support site, or from a rescue DVD
2) Try playing on Intel for a while and see if the problem occours

After playing with which games does your laptop shut down?

Hmmm usually this sort of case sounds like an overheating issue, but you said its running fine. It could be a drivers issue also (uninstall both Intel & AMD drivers, install Intel driver & reboot, install AMD driver & reboot etc). This guy had some driver issues with his g50 too

Also your GPU might not be getting the power it needs, ive seen cards shut down on load cause they cant be supplied with sufficient power. hope this helps :)

What does your Event Viewer (just search for it in Windows) logs say? Also you could enable Shutdown Event Tracker (Here is a link to enable it, and here is some more info on it) to see what errors are reported on the shutdown event the next time you game and it goes off.

Yeah i did what you said and got some errors for unexpected shut down while playing game as

Level: Critical

1.) The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error is caused because the system stopped responding and the hardware watchdog triggered a system reset.

2.)The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

What is the Problem. Please help me out...

Are your sure your games using the R5 M230 and not the internal Intel HD graphics? I think you can set the default one to use via Catalyst. Also try changing your power settings from Power Saver to something like High Performance or Balanced. This link might help :)
