Why does my laptop automatically turn off after running a computer game for a while?

It is a very old, low-quality graphics game (AoE RoR) but after playing it for a while on my computer maybe about an hour or so my computer just clicks off. I do not know if maybe my computer is heating up too much or if its just some automatic thing. I do not want to do any harm to my laptop but I hate to uninstall the game until I know for sure if it can be fixed.Why does my laptop automatically turn off after running a computer game for a while?
Try putting the back of the laptop on a book or something. This will help the cooling system get more air. Get at least 2" of clearance between the desk you're working on and the back of the notebook. The most likely cause of your problem is overheating. Try using a vacuum cleaner's hose to vacuum out the cooling system of your laptop. Dust and other debris collects there and reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. In an effort to protect the computer, if the internal temperature gets too hot, then the computer will shut down. Games also require more energy, so the laptop has to work harder, which creates more heat. This should solve your problem :-).
No offense but ...

may be the game is so boring!



It seems that your laptop can't take too much of it.Why does my laptop automatically turn off after running a computer game for a while?
the laptop heated up too much....

a computer wont just turn off on its own unless its got some sort of virus....
You laptop is overheating. It wont cause any serious damage to your laptop unless it occurs very frequently. The only way u can avoid this is to buy a new laptop or play the game less than one hour at a time.Why does my laptop automatically turn off after running a computer game for a while?
Most likely causes are either your power supply is going bad, causing the system to get too hot or not getting enough power; or that your CPU is getting too hot, and is shutting down automatically as a safety precaution. There are many more possible scenarios, of course, but these are the ones I've found to be most common.
