    Games do not cause that symptom.  Overheating, no matter what software is running, is what causes it.  Clean all the vents and get a cooling pad to reduce the overheating. 

  • When you don't have the charger in, the computer usually uses a different energy profile then when you use the charger so it seems, that your computer is overheating (as Gorath says)
