Overheating while playing

[Bartimejus]

Hi,

I'm using HP  Envy Ultrabook 6, with SSD (500GB) and Windows 10, and have an issue when playing B&S. If I play it for a longer time (15+min) my computer start to overheat and sometimes it even crashes. It's weird because I have everything else turned off (like chrome and other stuff) and it only seems to do that when i play B&S (I play other games like LoL and Skyrim).

I'd be really happy if anyone could help me figure out if i can do anything to prevent it or fix it.

Thanks for any help, Bartimejus

BnS is quite CPU intensive.

 

When was the last time you gave it a clean? Dust it still an issue for laptops. I don't use mine for games so I don't have any personally tested fixes.

 

Play on lower settings/resolution, A warmer room will also effect temperatures.

 

Some people even underclock their CPU to reduce temperatures and save it from long term damage.

I cleaned it up a few weeks ago when i got SSD, and already lowered the settings. Will try underclocking it tnx
