I have just bought Medieval 2 for my laptop, it runs great albeit with graphic settings on low, which really doesnt bother me. The problem is for some unknown reason whenever I play the game with my laptop plugged in or charging after an unspecified time the computer just randomly turns itself off. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be? It really bugs me as I can't really get into a good run with the game! I haven't experienced it with any other games and the laptop runs completely normally when I doing something else.

You will find laptops have minds of their own. My guess would be since I know nothing of your machine that when this game turns up the amps, and it will draw all you got, it has a built in circut breaker so that after a certain amp load or heat reading it will shut down rather than self destruct.

Things that might help are cleaning out the inside of your case, make sure no airway is blocked, find something for a heatsink to sit it on, turn on a fan acroos it so it blows through the case, make sure your battery is charged and run it that way, other than that to be honest 99.9% of the laptops are not made for 3d gamimg.
