My laptop runs really high when playing a game and just turns off, it gets really hot as well, how do I stop?

That is the laptop's way of cooling donw, don't worry there's nothing wrong with it.. I don't think there is any way of stopping it though...

The temperature inside yourt computer is too hot, pls check your internal fans if they are working properly. This is bad and you can damage your processor permanently.

Something must be wrong with it, bring it back to where you got it, and have it checked out, and if that is normal, buy a cooling pad for it (aobut $30).It elevates you laptop off the table, and has fans for circulation, keeps you computer running as cool as possible.

Its possible your graphics chip is overheating.  Check the fan.

It may get overheated or some hardware is broken (it can be a HDD,RAM,Video card etc., I think the HDD has a problem). Try getting a hardware diagnostic tool.

On laptops the main reason for shutdown is overheating. First make sure the fan in back/bottom is working. If it is not, it will need to be taken to a shop for replacement. Check the back fan area for dirt buildup and clean it with a can of air. Also do not use the laptop on things that will block airflow such as in bed on blankets. A laptop cooling pad (has fans in it) helps also.

The same thing happened to me on my laptop.\n\nIt is possible you are running out of resources.  However the below is what happened to me.\n\nWhat was happening is that the programs you are using are cpu intensive.  This causes the cpu to heat up.  The most likely reason for this is that the fan on your cpu is not making good contact with the cpu itself.  This means that it does not draw off enough heat. When the cpu gets hot enough it will shut the computer down.\n\nYou can get "speedfan" (goggle it) which will tell you how hot your cpu is running.  However unless you know what temperature it will scram (or shutdown) at I don't know how much this will help you.  Basically get someone to reattach the fan.  They need to get some kind of heatsink compound to attach it.

The Sims causes Video Cards to overheat, make sure you have a good video card and make sure the fan is clear of debri as in dust and crap.  Open the side to the computer if you have to, or like I said the best is get a good video card such as ATI Radeon 9200SE, this runs Sims just fine, and it only retails for 69.00 or so.  Available at our store....\nPS the idiot who thinks ALT F4 frees up ram is a moron, it will shut the active window, guess in a way that would free up resources, but then how the hell would you play the damn game!  hehehehehe

thats not that bad, just dont keep it in the heat, and dont do a lot of activities at once on it, and it should run fine. just dont look at porn on ur computer either, cus that will seriously fuk up a computer... badly

try updating ur graphic card from the manufacturers site and then run the game and u need to clean ur puter from adware and spywares coz these can slow ur computer good luck

maybe overheat issue try using motherboard monitor program to check the temperature of the system and do some burn in test on specific hardware such as cpu, ram, graphic card as game does put a good amount of stress on those hardware

If you have internet explorer - TOOLS\ninternet options - delete temp files - ok\n\nhow long has it been since you defragged your computer\n..I do it weekly)\nand check disk for errors - monthly\n\nshould help your performance - AND\n\nhow many programs are you running at one time\n<CTRL> <ALT>  delete \nchoose Task manager - and close anything that you are not using\nuses up your RAM (how much do you have)\nmy game computer has 2 gig of RAM\n\nbest of luck

i suggest you just restart it. when it goes into that standby mode it really hate to come out of it. even after it does it still runs awfully slow.\n\ngo to the control panel and click on power management and set it to turn off instead of going into standby mode.

If it is a brand new laptop or if it is under warranty then the easiest solution is to take it back.  \n\nHowever, if you fell it is overheatingcheck to see if all the vents are clear, if not try unblocking them.  Aquick blast of air or vacum cleaner should do the trick.  If still overheating then the CPU cooler fan will be faulty.  Usually when CPU overheats it shuts down.  Not freezes.\n\nFaulty memory seems like a culprit.  Did you change anything  recently? Install software etc??\n\nCheck to see from the Windows Task Manager what processes and programs are running?  Stop unnecessary ones and monitor CPU memory usage.\n\nUse or run Anti Virus program and program like SpyBot or AdAware to see what they report.  whether there are malicious programs running without your knowledge.

I'm assuming you run your computer on for long amounts of time. The best thing to do is to get a cooling pad like mentioned and to slow down the processor so that it doesn't produce extra heat when not in use/under a large load. http://www.pbus-167.com/chc.htm Notebook hardware control is a great program you could look into to see temps and to slow the processor down when you don't need all 100%. It can also help save battery life when you're not plugged in.

I can only think of 2 things that may be wrong, \n\n1) The laptop could be overheating, this can be caused by working on a soft / padded surface such as a cushion, carpet. what happens is that the padding conforms to the shape of the laptop and presses against it, blocking the vents that the laptop fans need to cool it efficiently. try propping it up by using something under the 2 back corners like a small eraser or something that will lift it up from the table/surface. Also try and blow your fans out maybe theyre dusty- use the spray air cans.\n\n2) Check your power management settings, Go to Control panel, power options and see if there is anything there that will help you, the options are pretty straight forward.

You need to change the power options under the control panel. To do this:\n\n1. Open the control panel and double click on 'Power Options'\n\n2. In the 'Power Options' window, you will see the options (time interval) to turn off your monitor, hard disc etc. The values you see are the default.\n\n3. Change these to suit your need.
