Random Crashes?

[Tecred]

Ok I'm useing my Sony Vaio, Model VPCEE31FX. It is a laptop and it will randomly crash when I'm playing KO. It used to be rarely, but this past week they have became way more frequent. I will be playing and my computer will randomly just shut down and restart itself, any advice? Please help me out! =(

application crash = some error message be4 restart/quit to os ?
or whole OS crash = just it shuts down wo any message - in this case what says OS system/application log ?

Where is the OS system/application log? I'm using Windows 7. It only happens when I'm playing KO. I'm using the ATI Driver. And I'm assuming it's a whole OS crash. No message, just shuts down and starts booting back up.

Do either of those help anyone at all? I've tried re installing KO and no help at all.

[sonvicky]

Google is your best friend, seems its a machine exception... Hardware error, either reinstall most drivers OR sent it in for reperations, it could be a hardware problem.

[bupboo]

i had the same as you but with me it was that my powersupply wasnt good enough for my videocard
causing the random crashes

[Tecred]

What should I do?

[Tecred]

Ok the problem was my computer was overheating, never had an issue before, always played with my laptop in bed laying down, but it started overheating. Guess I'll get a cooling pad, any suggestions?
