Hey guys i have a problem, my alienware M15x Laptop (2009) keeps restarting every 1-5 minutes and its only when playing games, mostly csgo, any help? i clean it every month and cleaned it last week, dont say its an overheating problem because i have stress tested it and the highest it has gotten is 51c and it ONLY shuts down playing games/csgo (i have only tried pubg and csgo and they both turn off after 1-5 minutes) i can run it on youtube, desktop, ect, without a SINGLE problem for hours on end, please help me guys, its restarts at around 47c-51c, its been like this for about 2 months, i have fixed it multiple times but its back to restarting the very next day

As a previous owner of the same model laptop, I have some experience with them. In your case, you have a system that does run warmer than a modern rig and it is 8 years old. It sounds like some component of the system is failing (likely heat/power related). I suspect something on the motherboard or the GPU (which can be swapped as you know) is failing.

What GPU is installed in your M15x? What version of Windows? Is Windows up to date? All of your drivers?
