    My laptop while playing games is now overheating and shutting down. I haven't had any problems with it in the past and it's handled all the same games easily before this. It's in an open ventilated area nothing is blocking the vents either. Ant suggestions?

    or try getting a can of compressed air and spray it into the vents while your laptop is off and see if any dust has accumulated... :)

    Blowout the airvents, check temps, and if still high, redo the gpu thermal paste.
