For the past few days I've had in issue that has occurred twice where in the middle of playing a game, my laptop will just shut off and then not do anything when I hit the power button again.
The only way I solve this is by waiting about 10 minutes and then taking the battery in and out and then it will come back on like normal.
This just recently started happening after updating the driver on my GPU but I'm not sure if it's related to the issue because I don't think it would shut the entire computer down.
Here's a summary of my speccy specs

Help FP, I'm not good at the computers
The laptop is an Asus G73jh by the way
Temps look ok, so I don't think you're overheating.
RAM should be enough to run games.
Try turning down the graphics settings on the game.
BTW what game?

I know it's not that I'm playing games that are too high-end because it's done it so far with Section 8: Prejudice and Lord of the Rings: Online
But before I was playing those I could play games like Battlefield 3, Skyrim, and stuff like that on high or the highest settings.
you mentioned you updated your graphics drivers. Sometimes that messes everything up. Try reverting to the older drivers.

Yeah I should try that but I didn't want to because Photoshop would crash upon starting until I updated.
If that's the problem I guess I could go back and forth for now, but I'll try it first.
There isn't a GPU temperature in that speccy shot
I think your GPU is getting too hot.
If you rule out temperature problems, try running it batteryless with the AC plugged in.
Okay I'm pretty sure it's the GPU getting too hot because I found out it idles around 75 degees and in-game it goes 100+
From what I can tell this is due to my fans not working properly so I'm going to bring it in to a shop tomorrow and hopefully they'll fix this issue.
