Lo all,

When playing daoc my laptop simply shuts down after playing for a certain amount of time. Sometimes I can play for 15 min, sometimes much longer, but after a while the laptop just shuts off. I noticed that when I run my BB on it, who's just standing at cs all the time, it doesn't always shut down. I can sometimes run my bb all day on it without any problems. When I play my chars actively on it though and run around in frontiers etc, it'll shut down much more often.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? It's the only game that has the problem, I can run World of Warcraft on it for hours without any problems.
I'm currently using the 5.9 Ati drivers, because the 5.10 ones give problems with daoc.

I got a Intel Pentium M 740, 1.73 GHz, ATI mobility radeon x700 128MB ram, 1 gig DDR2.

Anyone know what may be causing this?
