I have an Inspiron 3420.
I've googled my problem and some of them suggests that I have to put the memory speed in the BIOS etc etc. but then I am using a laptop with a BIOS that does not let me change anything in it exept time and date. My laptop used to only have 2GB and the laptop lags a lot, the temperature gets super hot where if you keep your hand on the laptop it kinda burns. Now I have upgraded it to 8GB and it's so quick, I was so pleased with the results, so To try it out and see the difference, I played GTA IV at the same settings as before and it runs smooth. I was expecting it to get really hot as well since it always does, but it didn't get hot as expected it just turned off suddenly. I thought, "maybe too much electricity comming in? Or air flow was blocked because of the extra RAM stick? So what I did is I cleaned the fan, removed the DVD reader since I honestly never used it before and still same results. I checked my thermal paste and it's really dried out so I went and bought a Arcticsilver 5 and applied it as neatly as I could, but still same results, laptop still shutsdown but it doesn't heat up as fast because maybe of the thermal paste? I also remounted the RAM sticks just to make sure they are properly installed etc. etc. i have ran out of ideas how to fix this and I need help. Please help.
CPU: i3-3110M
P.S: Laptop doesn't turn off if left in desktop or watching movies online etc. it just turns off when playing games which is the very reason why i upgraded it's RAM.
