    Hi guys , This is my first time visit this forum since my laptop have a very annoying problem .
    Since the few day ago , my laptop just power off itself for no reason especially when i run any 3D game which i was able to play for hours without problem before ( Cabal online for example ) .
    And now i use a program call Notebook hardware control to see its temp and unexpectedly , after i log on to any 3D game , the temp rose instantly to 80 and 95 degree just 2 min later and the laptop is not that hot at all , i checked the underneath was warm and surface was cool as normal , fans running perfectly CPU usage running with the game around 52%. Is there any thing i can do ?
    Also my DVD-drive have problem with wont read any copied cd and unable to write one that apply to both DVD and CD .
    I am using Vista Ultimate thought !

    I'm assuming it could be a GPU heat/fan issue. Either the fan isn't working to dissipate the heat which could cause the machine to auto shutdown.

    NHC can slow down your FAN Speed by controlling your BIOS.So try to uninstall NHC .
