When I play everquest my laptop runs fine for a while, then freezes for two or three seconds and then turns off. Why does it do this? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I have a mayhem g3 with an ATI 9700 graphics card, AMD 3400 processor and 1 gig of ram.

I think it might be from overheating or working too hard but I don't understand because I'm pretty sure I meet the minimum specs. It did this when I played Diablo II, but not until after I had been playing a month or two.

I tried getting new drivers but that didn't fix it. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
