    hi, my laptop shuts down when running dota 2 menu. if I stay in menu too much, it will shut down but the game is ok

    this problem started since some updates ago. I already reinstalled dota2 and it didnt work.
    when I open task manager, it shows: 50% cpu , 80% ram, 100% Disk (while I have free space on drives)
    does this mean the problem is from my HDD drive? and by buying a SSD drive it may solve?

    specs: core i3 , Ram 4gb, Nvidia 920M
    the only problem is with the menu (when it takes much time to quee) then it shuts

      My game takes forever to load the first time I start the game.. Second time is fine..
      There's a big loading space untill the cinematics begin..

      Specs: AWESOME

        I am not sure about HDD problem but if the system restart at menu then
        open console and type map_enable_background_maps 0
        maybe this will help not sure though

          Sounds like an over heating problem.
          Is the bottom really hot when this happens?
          If so you might wanna open it up and clear out the dust

            It might be caused by the last match showing on the menu. Gorgc had an issue just like this causing his gpu to overheat and lower his fps significantly. You can try to turn it off by deleting a file but causing the middle of your menu mostly black. I dont know how to do that

              thanks for answer. yes it is hot and I used map_enable_background_maps 0 but it no more works.
              @tomokuta I guess that's why your friend searched and deleted a file to stop that menu animation cause console command didnt work anymore.
              so if you could know which file he deletes, pls let me know thank you again
