I have and asus G51J notebook (intel i7, NVIDIA GF GTS 360m 8gigRam no Blueray burner) that one
for about the past week now, when i have been playing game namely Team Fortress 2 and League of Legends, my notebook as been crashing with no freeze or any error message at all. apart from when i start it up it asks me if i want to start in safe mode normal mode etc.
This error would occur about ever 30mins or so when playing video games but does not seem to happen when using other programs
It just powers down as if was running with no battery and i pull out the power cable.
One of the people in my Team Fortress 2 team told me that it was most likely a graphics card driver error so i reinstall my driver but this did not help, so i restored factory default settings by press F9 lost when it was booting,
I then reinstalled league of legends thinking all MUST be well and it happened again but this time twice in one game about 15 mins apart
Im totally out of ideas as far as i know this means thats its a hardware problem and its time to make a claim on my warranty
So i would like to know.
- Is there a possible solution for this problem to do with software?
- If i have to go to the ausus people in my city what kind of service can i expect (note laptop is about 7months old)?
- and if i do give it to them how long will it take for me to get it back?
added later since these 2 peopls advice i have run some stuff with temp monitores on and my graphics card is run about 70 when im doing nothing but when i start playing Team fortress 2 it moves up to about 100 degrees is this the reason for my crashes?

If i were, i would check my temperatures when gaming. It sounds like the laptop is shutting down to prevent thermal damage.
If it's time to get out the air cans, read this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/not...uide-cooling-down-your-notebook-computer.html -
Definitely sounds like overheating.

Thanks man I ran a Hardware monitor on my PC while playing a game and my graphics card went from around 70-75 to 95-100 degrees is this the problems that making my PC crash?

Yes it is. It's time to clean your vents (see the guide i linked earlier and use the air cans, even if you don't open it up, just blowing through the vents will probably dislodge a lot of dust). The good thing is that your notebook shuts down it's unlikely anything suffered permanent damage due to overheating.
