Some games freezing on laptop
Hello
I am having a strange issue with my laptop/windows.
WoW and recently TF2 have started freezing (sound freezes as well). Sometimes the computer freezes completely and sometimes the game closes but it continues to appear in task manager. I can't close it using "end task" and when I try to restart my computer/switch it off it does not switch of completely and I have to hold the button.
I am having trouble understanding why this happens. Here are some conclusions I have come to:
-I am using a cooling pad and my computer is completely cold, the fan isn't running at full speed so it shouldn't be from overheating.
-I have latest drivers
-I have no extra program running while playing
-Only WoW and TF2 crash
I managed to "fix" wow by playing it in DX8 and now it crashes very rarely. TF2 crashes after 10-15 minutes of play then I restart and continue playing without a problem.
I would greatly appreciate any help because I have no idea what can this be cause by
Thanks
