Please help, Wicther 2 crashs and shuts down whole laptop

So I just got Wicther 2 last night, and I installed it this morning and I turned on the game and went to go play it. It was running fine and my laptop could handle it. After about 10 mins of play time, it turned of my whole computer, and I had to take out the battery, drain the power, place the battery back in. I thought it was just a freak thing. So then I tried again, and the same thing happened, and I had to do the same thing. I have patch 2.0 or 2.1 not postive but if this is a error and they just needed to fix it please let me know. Mind you this has never happened with any game before in the past.

Check your temps.

That could possible be it, since it is a high power game, and suggestions on how to prevent this

sounds like an overheating problem

How powerful is this game. I can run other games on High with no problem at all happening, thi game I just run on meduim specs and it overheats.

I have a couple of friends with laptops who also had overheating problems with TW2, and they use pretty good laptops.

In all seriousness get creative and if your warranty has expired take it apart and apply new thermal paste the good $hit mx-4 or arctic silver and make some custom vent holes and that thing should last you a loong time, that's what i did with mine, but you got to know what your doing or you will short out that mother.

Fix registry errors... update drivers.

It's a memory issue. you need to do this: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=9583842&linkID=9240697couly

The joys of gaming on a laptop.

If the cooling pad doesn't work, I have no idea what else you could do except replace all the TIM in the laptop and clean all the dust out.

The shutdown could be because your chips got overheated.topsemag55

yeah i had the same problem...cleaned out my fans and intake...ended up gettin a cooling pad(like 20usd or so) and i havnt had a problem sense...look at my sig...even "gaming" laptops have problems cooling when running at max...just get some airflow under your laptop and it should cool off better
