17 R1, shuts down after gaming 13 minutes
I have an out of warranty Alienware 17 (2014).
Memory: 32GB
Processor: Intel Core i7-4910MQ CPU 2.90GHz[Cores 4] [Logical/Core 2]
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language
It is shutting down whenever I play games after 13 to 15 minutes.
I have run a diagnostic and the below is the message :
can someone tell me what i have to do or what part i have to change.
FYI, i have done cpu and gpu thermal paste change.
also it shows me an error on memory card but i have checked the memory card and 4 of them operating normally and this is the message as below:
Is the heatsink contain a special cooling like the fridge? Might be that if yes, since the lap is 2015 model old a bit or what exactly I have to do for it. I also tried to downgrade the bios system. I have tried from A10 to A17 however still the same problem.
Can anyone help me please?

thank you for the information, it is great add to me as an experience with all this.
Question :What is the purpose of modding the GPU driver since it is ruining & functioning normal ?
what are the benefits doing that ?
Perhaps the Geforce software could updated it in more better way.
kindly please let me know, and i will share with you all the information about the GPU to process, later, since am at work now :).

The 17 R1 was never released with the 900 series cards so you cannot install the latest Nvidia drivers directly from Nvidia. The driver file needs to be modified to include the Device ID of your GPU combined with your laptop ID.
This will allow newer drivers to be installed so you can get better performance from your card. Yes your card will function with the driver that you got to install but as it's so old you won't get the full potential from the card.
Try going to the Nvidia website and select your card and operating system from their dropdown options and find the latest driver. If you download and try to install this driver it will most likely say that No Compatible Hardware can be found or something like that.
I have heard that some machines are able to install 900 series drivers from Nvidia but most that I have come across will not, so the modded driver is required.
