    I have a intel hd3000 and i use i just for 720 gaming. my laptop has a i3-2350m pro. When I game it bounces up and down going from 40 to 20. so I downloaded throttle stop and hwmonitor . it will run at the appropriate framerate for 30 seconds with good temps then my laptop shuts off. im stumped
