    Hi,

    Please check the rubber feet and ensure that they are intact. You may try cleaning the fan and the air vents using a can of compressed air. Please try playing the game, if that doesn’t help, please check the BIOS version currently installed in the system; update it accordingly. You may also update the Notebook System Software, Chipset and the Video driver in that order. Please use the below link to download and install the drivers accordingly.

    I hope this helps. Please do write back in case you need any further assistance.

    Thanks & Regards
