I've got an MSI laptop that keeps giving me overheating warnings about every two hours while gaming. The screen flashes black, which is super frustrating because it makes my games unplayable. I need to restart my laptop to get it to work again, but I can't figure out how to fix this issue. Any suggestions?

Sounds like it might be time for some maintenance! If you've had your laptop for a while, consider cleaning out any dust and replacing the thermal paste. If it's pretty new, I’d recommend taking it to a shop for them to check it out.
I should note that this happens when I'm gaming, and before the warning, my CPU temp is usually under 70°C. Right before the warning kicks in, it jumps to almost 90°C and then the screen goes black.
