When I play GTA V on my laptop, it works fine and smooth on low graphics for 20 minutes. Then it suddenly crashes with the error- GTA V has stopped working. Sometimes if I'm lucky enough, then it goes on for 1 or 2 hours, but again, it crashes.
Also, please note that I'm experiencing overheating in my laptop when I play the game.

Here are my laptop specs-
AMD K16
RAM 4.00 GB
Generic PnP Monitor (1366x768@60Hz)
512MB ATI AMD Radeon R4 Graphics (Dell) 49 °C
2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R5 M200 / HD 8500M Series (Dell)


Thank you.
 
It's overheating is what's causing the crashing. It's overheating because it's spec is too low for that game. Your graphics are less than 1/2 the power of the minimum required 4870.

This is all very easy to obtain info. A little common sense goes a long way. You should have checked on these things BEFORE getting the game.
