My Blade 14 has started shutting down because it's getting hot. I'm playing Diablo 3 on an external monitor for maybe 15-20 minutes before it gets hot and Diablo 3 errors out.... any ideas what this is happening now and wasn't a month ago??
EDIT: I haven't updated any drivers from the ones it shipped with. Maybe I should try updating drivers first?

Are you sure it's overheating and it's not some bug or other error? What are you peak CPU/GPU temps during that 15-20 mins before it crashes?
-
90 is high but it not overheating high.

Start and use hwinfo64

Those are the same temps I get during all gaming sessions. Never have a problem. I dont think its a temp issue. What exactly do you mean by Diablo 3 errors out? Does it BSOD? Does it spontaneously shutdown and reboot? Any error message at all?

generally speaking you have a combination of choices
1) undervolt
2) force fans on earlier as well as turn them up
3) both
4) lower resolution
5) lower graphic settings
frankly you may be able to get a lot of room out of simply undervolting using intel xtu (search the forums here for details) and dropping your core temps by 5-6 C.
Note 4702 is already an officially undervolted 4700 so one shouldn't per say be afraid of further undervolting ...especially if the game itself isn't cpu bound
basically it comes down to your personal preferences regarding heat, noise, and performance..
and there are a number of ways to tweak these aspects. -
Overheating problems for last 2 days....
