    In the past, I have removed the battery and just run directly off of the AC power. That will usually reduce the heat quite a bit since the battery itself isn't constantly charging. If you still have heat issues their, then there might be something wrong with your power adapter itself.

    When it's on battery the nvidia card will run at a lower clock rate. Maybe it's overheating on AC from the higher clocks. Have you tried cleaning your fan & vent area with some compressed air? Has your cooling system been modified?

    What ALLurGroceries said...

    It's running at a higher clock speed when it's plugged in, which means ALOT more heat generated for that model. I have a G60Jx,which is very similar to your model. As for it shutting down, it most likely needs to be cleaned out and repasted.

    Agreed, just buy one of those cans of compressed air and clean the inside of your notebook.
