I recently updated my laptop to Windows 8.1. Laptop overheats when I play HD videos and also while playing games.Sometimes it shuts down on its own.
This wasn't the case when I was using Windows 8. May be there's an issue with the graphics drivers. I have updated all drivers provided by Dell.
Config:
- Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520
- Intel i7 3612QM 2.1GHz
- AMD Radeon HD 7730M + INTEL HD 4000 (switchable)
- 8 gb RAM.
Also, when i disable intel graphics, i get an error saying no amd drivers are installed.
