Why my laptop automatically turns off during playing games?
I like to play GTA vice city, laptop automatically shuts down and after almost 10 minutes it goes on. I have updated my laptop drivers.I have downloaded driver pack solution, its size is almost 14GB. But was still facing this problem.
My teacher suggested me download drivers from official websites. Then, i downloaded drivers form (https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers). I entered my laptop model (HP EliteBook 820 G1) and updated my drivers but still having problem.
Please suggest me a proper solution.

Is it suddenly switching off or going through the proper shutdown process? If its sudden like you'd get with a power cut then check the battery to make sure it isn't cutting out, if a particularly heavy bit of game starts up then your laptop might draw more power than your battery can give, causing it to switch off. If its a proper shutdown then it might be worth checking windows event viewer at the time of shutdown. The events there might point you towards a particular program or driver

I don't run heavy game on my laptop. These games are easily played on core 2 duo system but why not on core i5. I shutdown my laptop in proper way.

sorry for the confusion there, I meant when it automatically turns off, does the full shutdown process go through or does it suddenly switch off?

It goes to full shutdown process and after few seconds it automatically turns on itself.

Right ok, does this only happen when playing that one game or when doing other things too? If it's just that one game I'd perhaps suggest reinstalling the game and seeing if that helps. Otherwise it might be worth using some pc stress test software to see if you've got some faulty hardware somewhere
