Hi,
Previously i had posted that i experience a problem with my laptop that when i play certain games it crashes in 5-15 min. I have currently identified the issue. Apparently it is overheating. I have 3 power option plans for my laptop - High Performance/ Balanced/ Power Saver - the only way to ensure it will not crush is to switch to power saver option, which significantly reduces performance. Thus, the greater the power supple the more is overheats and it crashes.
Does anyone know how can i still enjoy the high performance power option, and keep the laptop from crashing(overeating)
