Hello,
Every night from around 9:30 pm to 11 pm for at least a week now, my laptop would shut off unexpectedly while playing Sea of Thieves with my friends. I do not believe Sea of Thieves is the direct issue as this has been happening at random weeks for at least 3 months now. Why I think Sea of Thieves is not the direct issue, but imply that it may be an indirect issue, is because the game is very taxing on my computer and heats it up. I do believe this is a thermal problem at the moment, though a couple of months ago when it started to happen, I can't say the same. I have applied many fixes and when it seems to go away for a while it comes right back. There is no shutdown sequence in my Task Scheduler, my BIOS is up to date, all of my drivers are up to date at the time of writing, and I have physically opened my laptop and cleaned my fans (one of them may have been the heat sink, so even better). Even after cleaning the fans, my CPU still reaches around 92 degrees Celsius, according to my hardware monitor, when playing the game. When I search my Event Viewer, I find when the computer has been shutting down, and it tells me it is an unexpected shutdown with an Event ID of 6008. I have already searched the Event ID of 6008, and research tells me either to update your BIOS or a thermal issue, which is definitely not the former. My friend recommended me to this site and make a post on this forum before I try anything more. I have recently started Overclocking my GPU with MSI Afterburner at a Core Clock of +200 and a Memory Clock of +700. The laptop has been shutting down way before I started doing this and has still been happening the day before I started overclocking, my GPU is not having any issues, I believe it to be the CPU.
I own a Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop
Model number: PH315-52
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Graphics Card: Overclockable Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti, Version 471.11
Motherboard: Covini_CFS
OS: 21H1 Windows 10
Let me know if there is anything I missed, and I need to add more.
