Windows 10: PC casually shuts down while gaming

Hi! As the title already says, for a couple of days, my Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ALC6 has been shutting down and immediately restarting during a gaming session every 40 minutes/ 1 hour and 20 minutes max. It doesn't give any signs before shutting down, the screen simply goes black and after half a second the Lenovo logo appears, as it is turning on. It has done it almost 10 times since 2 days agoonly happens when I'm playing a game as already mentioned and after the second time sometimes my screen started crashing for like a second and then returning to life it just blocked and then became normal

:)

 

Casual Games

Hi Desmond,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

Sorry to know that you are unable to access games.

When you say casual games, what games are you referring to?

For Store issue:

Try to run the troubleshooter for Windows apps and check:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps

I would suggest you to follow the steps:

• Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
  
• Click File > Run New Task.
• Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”.
  
• Type CMD.
• Type the following 4 commands at the CMD prompt:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannow
  
  powershell
  
  Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  
• Close the CMD window.
• Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
