ya i did choose the cpu cooling max on full power when plugged into the outlet... Is it cuz of air vent blockage. ie playing games on my bed?

could very well be, but useally a cooling problem

Heat related issues will cause this sort of problem and they're definitely worsened by vent blockage, such as playing on your bed (where the bedding is soft and will shape around the base of the laptop ensuring a proper blockage). Try playing games on your laptop at a desk or table to reduce this issue or if you must play on your bed, at least put the laptop on a solid surface. If you continue to experience the heat-related shutdowns look into acquiring a laptop cooling base - there are loads around (Amazon sell at least one such product).

Hope this helps.
