Laptop keeps shutting down when rendering 3D games

My laptop continues to shut down after about 5-15 minutes of playing 3D games, like Borderlands 2 and Half Life. The only exception to this is Minecraft (Only with the AtLauncher) and Portal 2. I have no clue why these games run correctly, considering that any other Java game won't stay on, and same for Source games. I have a Satellite C875-S7303. I know that it's an overheating problem, but I just want to know some ways I can fix/help this without opening the laptop. Also:This laptop is only 8 months old, it hasn't been dropped or cracked at all.

Hi If your going to play high end games, you are going to have to pay more than the 6 hundred dollars you paid for your machine. If it continues to get hot and shut down, you will be shopping for a gaming machine real soon. I would suggest a desk top next time if you want to be a gamer.Dokie!!PS Google Best Gaming Lap Tops.

  • My Satellite laptop (A305) shuts down when run on the AC charger/adapter

    The problem is that my Toshiba _A300 series laptop (A305) shuts down when you try to run it on the AC charger/adapter_. You can boot it with the power cord plugged in and it will get to Windows Desktop and maybe a few minutes more at most before shutting off.
    It will boot and _run from battery without problem_, but if you plug in the AC while it is up and running on battery the machine will normally click off instantly and reboot to the message "Windows was not shut down correctly."
    The _AC adapter works fine_ reading a steady 19.19 to 19.20 volts with a voltmeter. It also _charges the battery fine when the computer is off_. I have two Toshiba brand batteries and they both work fine.
    One interesting thing is that the _computer runs fine on AC when in safe mode_.
    I _did a reformat/factory restore_ of Vista to assure it was not software and drivers, and still got the same problem before any external devices had been plugged in.
    It has the latest BIOS and I tried resetting it to default values in case anything had gotten changed. It made no difference.
    This is _not a heating issue_ because _while it is run on battery I can watch long videos_ without it shutting off. I ran compressed air through the vents just to make sure, but it makes no difference in behavior. Usually with an overheating shut-off, the computer cannot be started until it has cooled some, but these shutdowns are accompanied by an instant reboot.
    I have seen on some threads that this type of problem one can work around by disabling one of the processors in Device Manager, but I don't think that is much of a lasting solution or good for the computer.
    Has anyone seen this problem before and have you come with a full diagnosis of the problem and a real solution?

    I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
    I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
    If not let OS run and put the battery.
    Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
    To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
    Full diagnosis?
    And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • ITunes keeps shutting down when I open it up.  The message says iTunes has stopped working.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

    iTunes keeps shutting down when I open it up.  The message says iTunes has stopped working.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

  • My computer keeps shutting down when i try turn it on

    My computer keeps shutting down when I try turn it on

    Sounds like you may have hard drive issues. 
    You can try using built in diagnostics if you have them by holding D on startup.  If nothing special happens, your model does not have them.  You can then try to boot to recovery by holding Option while starting up and selecting Recovery HD.  (Run Disk Utility Repair)  If no Recovery HD appears, then you have a bad hard drive or an older OS than supports it.
    If neither of those works I'd take it to an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider near you for a diagnostic test.  Apple will do it for free, so it's preferred for a test, but may not be the best price for a simple hard drive replacement.  Head over to locate.apple.com to find the nearest AASPs and Apple Stores and set up an appointment.

  • Iphoto keeps shutting down when making a book

    Iphoto just keeps shutting down when I am trying to make a book. Every time it shuts down, it erases most of the content of my book. Help!

    birdiemac:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where in the process does it shut down? When you try to drag a photo into the book or into a page?
    If it's when trying to add a photo, can you edit that photo without crashing and do you use Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for any of your editing?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

  • My Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to see my inbox messages

    MY Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to open my inbox messages . It happens on both my iPhone and my iPad

    I'm having the same issue and I think I've figured out why: apparently, Facebook had an issue with it a few days ago and shut them off until they've fixed it. Here's a link to the info:

  • PC Shutting Down when Rendering

    I have used Premiere for many years/versions now and have had a persistent problem of the computer shutting down while rendering, regardless of the system.
    My current computer is a laptop (Clevo 900DF for those familiar with that brand) with the following specs:
    - i7 960 3.2 GTHz *desktop* processor
    - 6 Gb DDR3 ram
    - Windows Ultimate x64
    - 2 WD 250Gv harddrives (working as 1 striped drive)
    The shut-down problem is inconsistent, but occurs most when I got a number of effects on the videos, esp. things like level changes, or more recently, when I try to include a logo I created in After Effects in the video.
    Previously I thought the problem was with my systems (both desktops, on XP and one a dual core Vista x64 machine), but now I am having the same problems on my laptop and it's getting very frustrating.
    I am going to check into getting some better external cooling (hard to adjust internal cooling in a laptop) and wonder if this is a problem others have had and if so, what solutions you found. Could the inclusion of the AE logo watermark be causing my problems? (The render time is also very long, yesterday it was over 2 hours to render a 17 minute HD video to the H.264 YouTube widescreen preset.)
    Thanks,
    Julie

    Julie,
    A computer shutdown, whether you see a BSOD, or not, is most often related to hardware, and most often to overheated hardware.
    Take a look at this ARTICLE, for some tips, and tools.
    After all possible hardware causes have been exhausted (but not until you have tested them all), then you will probably be looking at a driver issue with the OS.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Have you tried creating a new user account and launching the apps there? If they work under the new account, then it is possible that you have a corrupted pref file.
    I had this happen on my eMac, but it was when I was a newer Mac user and didn't know much. I ended up reinstalling to OS - which corrected it - but that is a bit drastic.
    Let's not do that, but try some other troubleshooting first.

  • My CS4 keeps shutting down when I try to use it,why?

    How can I stop my CS4 from shutting down when I try to save or even open a file in it?
    I have tried resetting the preferences file. This worked once but so far has not worked again(I found this solution just by googling). It is obviously a common problems but I cannot find a solution that works or an explanation as to why it happens.
    Please could someone at least explain what causes it? And preferably how to fix it?
    It cost a lot of money and I don' yet understand why I should lose the right to have a functional programme. I'm not interested in having any new features etc. It takes me ages to work out how to do easy thing each time a new programme comes out!
    Thanks
