Laptop turning off randomly when playing games

[gamer50082]

Games like

Bloxd.io

minecraft

 

most likely a gpu issue

What are the temps? Considering the age, most likely horrible. But they are kinda imp0rtant to troubleshoot this dino.

CPU about 70 - 89 max temp like a few months ago was 93 now it doesn’t go above 89. gpu was around 79

it's cooking.. AND.. probably running the game entirely from the pagefile on the ssd..

So the issue is ssd?

no.. that just makes it slow.. and if the ssd starts fragmenting and files are corrupted it will boot. but more likely overheating

Don’t understand but how can files fragment if it’s on ssd

The laptop have been running fine at the temp for many years like 2 years already

have you ever cleaned it with a dustblower or similar?  dust builds up inside your laptop, and at some stage it won't be able to cool as good as it used to.

it's how SSD's are designed, when a sector fails it is replaced.. until it's out of spare memory .. basicaly.. that can cause corrupted files. 

that is also why SSD's have a lifetime %..

Cleaned the laptop still turning off

I would say based on your next topic the problem appears to make a bit more sense.

 

Do yourself a favor, full clean your system of dust and dirt. Then wipe your drive. Start over.

FYI it's likely you cooked your processor, laptops are not designed for running at such high temps for long periods of time. Laptops in general have a shorter lifespan than desktops. After subjecting your device to that abuse your going to see it perform less than you like moving forward.
