I have Windows 10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad and I've been having issues with some older games, namely KOTOR II and Battlefront II. I downloaded them and installed them with Steam. I've gone through a few diagnostics and followed some pointers on Steam support and their discussions, but to no avail. I'm not exactly tech savvy (mostly talk out of my ass) so I went to my last resort. Help me 4chan, you're my only hope.
Install Gentoo.

Whenever I attempt to open these games, it shuts the whole computer down. When I get to the menu for KOTOR 2, it shuts all the way off. When I get to the first loading screen on Battlefront 2, it shuts all the way off. Just tried compatability mode for Windows 7, doesn't work.

>it shuts all the way off
That's the motherboard safety measures kicking in when the cpu/gpu is eating so much power it can't handle it. Also heat spikes.

Can that be fixed?

It's really just the game heating up your laptop to a ridiculous degree. Try locking your game's framerate to 60 or less.

First I'd have to get into the game to do that.

Go to your recording devices and turn on Stereo Mix, see if that fixes it

Do it through your gpu's control panel, senpai.

I don't see the option anywhere in recording or on the sound tab as a whole.

KotOR 2 runs perfectly on Ubuntu. I've been playing it in 4k using the RadeonSI driver and had no problems.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Not W10's fault
