    And you haven’t thought about remounting your cpu with new thermal paste or getting a cooler more fitting for your setup? This just sounds like windows being able to get more out of your hardware.

      That would be one theory I guess, at least if I wasn’t getting the same FPS on both sides.

        Not for fixing windows but if it really is overheating, fix it before its too late. Even the cheap thermal paste would do if its not a high end one and its pretty easy to change paste anyway.

          Thanks, I’ll consider it. This is a gaming laptop, so I’m a bit more reluctant to mess around in there.

            Is it still in warranty by any chance? It really shouldn’t be overheating to the point that it reboots, windoes or not.
