i have a 6 year old pc specialist gaming laptop in good condition thats developed a fault. On games i've always been able t run perfectly on high setting, the games now crash (sometimes after a minute, sometimes after 20 or 30 minutes). 3 leds flash then it instantly shuts down.
Specs
Chassis & Display Vortex Series:17.3" AUO Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080) (£79)
Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3720QM (2.60GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM) 16GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (4 x 4GB)
Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 675M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
1st Storage Drive 120GB INTEL® 330 SERIES SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 500MB/sR | 450MB/sW)
2nd Storage Drive 500GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)
DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 8x SATA DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer (+ 24x CD-RW)
Ive cleaned fans etc. checked the ram and the slots. I think its either cpu or gpu thats causing it. The system idles a little hotter than i'd like but nothing drastic. Any advice gratefully received
