Laptop turning off

by Rumen55 Jun 9, 2016 6:01PM PDT

Hey there. I didnt really know where else to post this so sorry if it is at the wrong place. last week i purchased this laptop http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX61200 And every time i tried to play cs go it was making a lot of noise and it was just turning off it even turned off a few times while i was just on facebook or youtube. So i replaced the laptop and got a new one (the same model) and i have a similar problem. After every competitive game or a long deathmatch the laptop cools down in a few minutes and then it completely turns off. A few times it didnt turn off for some reason and just now it turned off while i was watching youtube videos. There are no alerts no blue screens there isnt anything after i turn it on again. It turns on like it ussualy does. Like nothing ever happened. If anyone has an idea what the problem might be Drivers, graphics card etc. please tell me what you think it is I would be very happy if someone can help me solve that problem and i can even give whoever helps me solve the issue a skin.( 5$-15$) Thank you for your time.

As it stands a warranty issue.

I know there is a MSI fan in the forum but here I don't see many in SoCal USA so not a big seller.

It looks like an OK model but for 100 less bucks I went with the ASUS ROG with 16GB DDR4, a better GPU (960M with 4GB RAM) and the usual 120GB SSD and 1TB disk combo. I didn't like the small C drive so I already swapped in a 500GB Samsung card.

HOWEVER I do have it on a passive cooling pad and so far, so good. For a little less than what your link gave. Here's the one I went with.

My son has the slightly cheaper model but it still beats the MSI on RAM, GPU, etc.
