    Hi, I had this laptop for maybe 2 years+ (bought it used from a friend).
    Lately, my laptop would shut down when I start up a game that does not require much power.
    I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate and I have a cooler. I suspect my graphics card gets really hot and eventually forces my laptop to turn off?

    I was wondering if upgrading my ram would help take some tension off my GPU since I have couple of other things running along with the game.
