Unexpected Game Crashes and Frozen Laptop: Predator Helios 300 G3-572
Very recently, I've been facing this annoying problem that I can't find a solution to, or even know why it is happening.
I was playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate (at pretty high graphics, smoothly) when suddenly, the game shut down. There wasn't an error message.
This happened few more times, and then one day, it shut the game but the laptop froze. Not even Windows OS was accessible. I had to manually reset the laptop by cutting off the power through the pinhole on the bottom.
It happened again, and again, and again. I am having to pinhole reset quite frequently.
The same happened when playing GTA5 and Watchdogs (At high graphics, No lag). Unexpected shut down.
The temperatures were around 86 degrees celsius, tops.
Another strange thing that used to happen when the games crashed was, my Nvidia Geforce 1050Ti graphics seemed to get automatically disabled. (I say that because when I right clicked, I couldn't see Nvidia control panel. But it appears back on restart)
I have no problem playing Assassin's creed black flag, The Witcher 3, FIFA 15, NFS Most Wanted 2013, etc. I wonder why only those games shut down.
Questions:
- is the temperature normal? I mean, sometimes it gets unbearably hot when not running coolboost.
- are the game crashes related to the high temperature?
- will I always have this problem?
- is there a quick fix?
