Samsung RF510 dies when running games

Hiya,

I got a samsung RF510 at around Christmas, but this is the first time I have tried a game on it. I installed dragon age 2, but the laptop just dies anywhere between a few minutes and 30 mins playing. I tried checking the temp of it when just loading the menu of dragon age as it didnt feel too hot when it died and it was 60C. I know that wasnt bad for my desktop, but I had not even started playing the game and this is a laptop? I am above spec for dragon age 2 so I dont know what else is causing it. I have the latest drivers etc:

Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 460M (2.53GHz, 3MB)
nVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (External Graphic card) 1GB gDDR3 (External Graphic)
4GB DDR2 RAM
500GB / On 150GB partition

Any ideas? Have tried re-installing drivers, turning the graphics down and running directX9 instead of 11. This is also a clean install of win7, so I only have steam installed really.

What is causing it to shutdown instantly?

It's a garbage game, play other games.

Thats some useless info, you should stay in system wars.

Anyway, since its instantly shutting off, I would bet on a sudden spike in temp causing it to shut down to save itself. You dont have any other games to try?

Have you updated the drivers for your video card? it could be incompatibility thats causing the problem. also are there any updates for the game itself? there could be a fix included in an update

I have tried mass effect 2 and it did the same thing, while running the first scene. I am trying to monitor the temp when it crashed. This laptop is supposed to be good for not overheating..... I could try my old laptop fan.
