    I had an over year ago ASUS G73JH from BestBuy Deal. I installed this game called Wolfenstein, then it wit all max settings graphic, but i played like 10minutes and shut it down by itself. I dunno why is happing this situation. Besides, I installed Dead Space 2 with all max stuffs and I dun have any problem with it. I tried to find in the internet some solution but I was no lucky for it. I hope, if anybody has the same problem as me.

    Probably due to overheating... use HWinfo32 and post your idle and load temps. This is a classic sympton of overheating.

    Did you ever update your video BIOS?

    Those thermal temps are a little high. While the game probably isnt shutting off from throttling, it is a possibility. Irregardless, I would look into repasting and maybe investing in a laptop cooler.

    As mentioned above, it could simply be a BIOS update necessity, or a driver problem

    Ummm your utilisation is at 1% so those are idle temps :( 12oC difference between DISP and Diode sounds like same as mine paste was dried up.

    Those are more than a little high my friend you have idle temps of 90oC it sounds as though you seriously need a repaste and/or to update your Vbios.

    If it is still under warranty get Asus to do it for you.

    The difference between games is probably why as Dead Space 2 I find runs 6oC cooler after testing it out a moment ago it requires a lot less processing power than most.
