Hi guys    I own medion erazer x7833 for about 4 years and never had any issues with playing games. I've played the whole winter 2019/2020 DayZ with bunch of mods on max details, Cities:Skylines with huge cities developed, Monster Hunter Online also almost max details... However, couple weeks ago my computer started shutting down at random playing different games. DayZ is shutting down computer after 3min gameplay on very low details, Crusader Kings 3 is barely playable due to fan noise and temperatures are way too high.  I got MSI Afterburner and SpeedFan software to monitor temperatures. When I'm using only Edge browser, Outlook, Office365 etc, the temperatures are about 47C for GPU and 58C to 64C for CPU cores. When I play games these parameters instantly rise to around 70C on GPU and 82C on CPU. Fans go loud (but not as loud as on 'max fan' button) after that laptop just shuts down.    I never overclocked this laptop. Upgraded SSD drive and 16GB ram, both about 2 years ago and it was working fine so far.   I have newest updated Windows 10 version and newest NVIDIA drivers. I turned off Avast, which I was using for years without issue. I bought a Zalman laptop cooling stand. Problem remains. Anyone can help identify and hopefully fix the problem?   Best, Michael ...

Hello, I'm Michael.   I'm using Win10 on my laptop for about a month now, updated from Win 8.1. I was positively suprised with small drop of performance and happy with it in general.    However lately my computer gets a hikup. And this shouldn't happen. It's really good laptop, Medion ERAZER x7833, see description.   As I've mentioned, I'm using Win 10 for about a month. After update I still played all games on ultra details. Witcher 3, Unreal Tournament, Alien Isolation, Act of Agression etc., all on ultra details, always above 30FPS.   I didn't played games for around a week. In the mean time I've moved from Poland to UK.   After that I wanted to play Witcher. It loaded save game without a problem, started playing as I used to without changing any (graphic) settings. After 3-5 min FPS drop to 8FPS. Tried reload, restart game, only restart of the computer helped, but cycle repeated after few minutes of playing. I've checked other games, same problem.   I though it has something to do with hibernation I've turned on few days earlier. No disc cleaning helped. I tweaked some Windows perfrormance settings but problem remains.   Now I've noticed, that if I run my computer without internet connection everything works perfectly. Every game works with nice framerate. However when I connect to the internet FPS drops.   Why the FPS drop when connected to the internet? How can I fix that? ... View more
