I think it may be overheating yes, because it only does crash while I am ingame. Is there something more I can do to keep enough airflow around the video card? I keep my laptop on a desk upright, and I've been using videogame cases to keep the laptop elevated off of the desk lol, but it hasnt really been working out.

I've also uninstalled the catalyst manager for the video card and reinstalled the newest version, but it just crashed again after I did that. Is there anything else that anyone can think of that I should try before I do something with a high risk of bricking my laptop, like trying a new BIOS?
