need HELP about laptop

Hi,

I have HP HDX18 laptop.

which it uses GeForce GT 130m.

Im not sure why, but lately,
my computer is keep shutting down (without warning) while i play games
(like SC2, SuddenAttack)

and i checked the HEAT (thinking it's over heating) using "speccy" program.

normal use (just internet)
CPU 45C
Motherbaord: 53C
GPU 62C
HDD 46C

Game use (playing SuddenAttack)
[NOTE: only turned game on for like less than 5 minutes and shuts down
SC2 goes longer, like 30 minutes or somewhere around]
**and this is what i saw while playing SA**

CPU: around 52 ~ 57 C
Motherboard: around 62 ~ 67 C
GPU around 65 ~ 70 C
HDD around 50 ~ 55 C

I don't think it's over heating,
and i got 0% knowledge of why it keeps shuts down only when i play games.

could anyone help me out?

Thanks.

check windows error reporting, otherwise you should probably check the fan to make sure it spins up faster when you play a game and that it is actually flowing some air.
