Hi guys,
My laptop keeps overheating and shutting down.
I have the laptop on a cooling pad and the pad is running on full. I have also cleaned the graphics card fan and I have a program that tells me the temp so I know when it is going to overheat.
I,ve tried updating drivers but im not sure whether I have updated all of them.
Its not like im running a high spec game either.
My laptop specs are as follows:
