why does my laptop shut down whenever i play online video games?
March 12, 2010 by: nickadmini have an acer laptop and it shuts down when i play online video games and online video games only. It has nothing to do with over heating because i already checked that. It has a random blue screen that but i cant exactly read what it says then restarts itself and its very irritating. Please help me!
I would make sure its not a certain game.

If it still shuts down you may need to update your browser or even your flash or both.
Also check security settings on your browser. You may be blocking a certain script that causes your browser to crash.
Go to tools… security settings… and then one of those tabs has an option to reset browser settings do that and then try.
One of these has to help.
Could be any other hardware problem like the memory or even the motherboard, somtimes a simple reinstall can clear the problem.
Games are more sensitive to harware problems but windows can actually function somewhat even with a hardware problem, check everything.
Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new software, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
