Yes thats most probably overheating,are you using fan for laptop that could help,also does it happens when playing any other game or doing anything else except playing Skyrim?

I already said im using fan but not gaming fan.

 

Does it happens when playig any other game?

 

Nope,last time before i didnt have fan, i play mafia 2, the problem is same , random shutdown. Then i decided to buy that not gaming fan , and it helps(no more shutdown)

 

3 weeks ago i started playing skyrim,shits happen everytime, even with fan , this random / sudden shutdown happens. Skyrim only!! No games that i play in my laptop that random sudden shutdown (re 6,mafia2,gta 4,dota2,vall of duty

As qwertyzeldar pointed out, the most likely cause is that your laptop is overheating. There's not much that you can do about the problem except make sure that you have good air circulation around your laptop. The extra fan helps, yes, but make sure you aren't playing on a soft surface like your bed or a pillow. Playing on a soft surface blocks the vents that help cool your laptop. The only other thing you can do is to play Skyrim in short sessions, then give your laptop time to cool down.

 

I'm sorry that you're having this problem. Skyrim is very demanding on a computer, and even the best rigs will sometimes have issues. I hope you get things sorted out. :smile:

Nope i know that my laptop will get bad air circulation if i play on a sofa/bed, so i play on the table,also i have broken extra fan beneath the laptop (to prevent blocked air circulation) , + extra mini fan that working.

 

Is that enough for my laptop? Or perhaps i should buy gaming fan (that beneath my laptop)? Thanks

Yeah you're probably going to need a full sized fan, here's one i use fo for my old laptop: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01COUWBJ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490808070&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Marvo+FN-30+15+-+17+inch

 

Not sure if it's the right size though. The problem is that your pc has the minimum specs for skyrim as well as being a laptop (parts arent as good). To further help, if you havent yet i recommend downloading and using mods that reduce the impact the game inflicts on your PC. Also how much free space do you have on your drive?

Yeah overheating is really big problem and I experienced it too :(,only thing that I can suggest is mentioned gaming fan or you can try playing in some other room where's temperature lower that's what I'm doing when it's summer moving my PC to the attic :)
