Title says it. I have a Lenovo Y50 16GB, with a 500gb Samsung 850 EVO SSD. Other than that, it has the default i7 4710HQ, and Geforce 860m. Currently using the latest driver(359.06), with Windows 10 64 bit. I don't have any overclock, since it is a laptop.

It's only happening with newer games, eg Battlefront, Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, etc. Any older game, like BF4 I can play just fine on ultra for a couple hours at a time with no issues. My GPU isn't overheating, I ran Furmark for an hour and a half, and the hottest it got was 71 degrees. I do have a laptop cooling pad, but that doesn't seem to help.

Any help would be appreciated!

UPDATE: I ran Just Cause 3, which kept crashing. Still crashes, and my GPU temp maxed at around 60 degrees, which isn't that hot at all.

That is the problem with laptops, OEM's tweak the drivers to work with their hardware and the newer ones from nvidia can have issues.

I'll try it, although that's an older driver. It came out in July, so would it work with the newer games that I've been trying? Like Battlefront, Fallout 4, and Just Cause 3.

I tried that, and it seems to do the trick with Just Cause 3, and Fallout. Battlefront however, needs a newer driver, 358.50... Which of course, that one crashes with the other two games. If there's a fix for that, it would be much appreciated!
