Laptop Shutting down randomly

[viqzz07]

Hi, I have an ROG Strix G513RW, but when I run certain games like GTA V or CS 2 it randomly shuts down. I've added a cooling pad and disabled the CPU performance boost mode. I tried everything, updating the graphics driver, updating Windows, and even changing the CPU, GPU, and Mosfet thermal paste but it still doesn't work. Any solutions? Thanks

You need a program that monitors temps all the time and keeps it on the screen so we can really tell if it's a heat problem.

Laptops generally need to be cleaned out pretty often. I'm assuming if you changed the thermal paste that you probably cleaned the fans and the vents when you did that? And you can still hear the fans working?

I do have core temp, and msi afterburner, when I play those games the temps are stable, cpu is
around 55-60 degrees celsius while the gpu is around 60-80 degrees celsius, and yeah I cleaned the fans once every 2 months and I could clearly hear the fans working on maximum speed.

Is it always plugged in when you play? Some laptops have a battery saver feature where they occasionally switch to the battery for brief periods. If the battery is dead, that would lead to a shut down. The powerpack (including its cable) could be a problem, too.

A lot of the hardware, like the motherboard, can cause shutdowns if it isn't working properly. as can RAM. I would check for new Bios/UEFI updates.

Could check the connections inside the laptop as well.

yep, always plugged in, never unplugged
