I've been using dolphin from time to time here and there and i have not heard or see this happen to someone, so i got a pretty decent laptop a couple of months back, and it's pretty damn good for running dolphin, almost all if not all games run any 60fps with minor drops if any, said laptop is an hp 8540p, so, i got the laptop, installed dolphin, played for hours, no problem, i had a couple of problems with windows and i had to re install it multiple times, reset my bios, etc, every time i installed it (around 7 times) i proved dolphin, and it worked ... except on 2 occasions were my laptop shut itself off, as i stated before, i could play for hours and nothing happened, but now i couldn't, i re-installed windows 8 and dolphin once again worked no problem, i upgraded to 8.1, and it shut itself off again, i was puzzled as to why this happened, i thought of overheating, but i discarded it since i literally could spend 5 hours playing straight and nothing happened to my laptop before, i investigated a bit and i read that someone had a similar problem, but it was his power supply which wasn't enough, i got a nasty fix for this and it was limiting the processor power to almost 70% (around 2GHZ), games were not that smooth, i could not play anything without having drops and i had to put every high setting i had down, what i really don't understand is why does this happen only with dolphin, i could play bioshock infinite with 100% and my laptop would get around 85 degrees and it wouldn't turn off, i know this temperature isn't good to work with, but its what i get for having hp, they have a good cooling system though, so, the other day i disabled sleep on closing the lid and my laptop was burning inside my backpack, when i pulled it out, it worked, no overheating shut down, i let it freeze and started dolphin with 100% of power, it didn't even get warm, just around 70/65 degrees Celsius and it shut down, this is really unjoyable, i need help with this, i can't really play with anyone else since it may shut down or the lag will be annoying, and once again, my laptop works fine at high temperatures in ANYTHING else other than dolphin after i re-installed windows countless time, it wasn't like this, please i need an answer. Sorry for any grammatical mistakes i may have committed.
