It seems whenever I play a game, it HAS to shout down at my face, it used to do that before, but not as often as now. What's happening?
It's a laptop btw

Put the speakers below your face and turn the volume down?

In all seriousness... I dont know. How old's your laptop?

OP makes no sense, can't tell if it's spelling/grammatical fail or what....

My laptop shuts down as I play a game, it does that sometimes, but not as often as it does now.
And it's like, from 2007, I think..

My friends laptop started overheating and shutting itself down, then the screen colors started getting all distorted, then his entire laptop stopped working and he had to send it in for a motherboard replacement. Hope you've got warranty!

Your laptop. It hates you for posting about it in Off Topic.

Check if any of the heat sinks and vents are clogged with dust. Clean if necessary.

Make sure the fans are working.

If those two check out, remove the heat sink, clean off the thermal paste, and apply new thermal paste.

Everything's fine, no dust, and the fan is working fine.
Aaand, what's the thermal paste?

Thermal paste is a heat transferring substance that aids in the transfer of heat from components to the (most likely) copper heat-pipes. It sits in between almost all components and their heat-pipes.
