I once purchased a laptop which could not run at full-power and would shut down soon after starting folding. Fortunately I recognized the problem within a few days and was able to exchange the laptop for one which was designed to dissipate the heat produced when it was working at or near full load.
There's nothing inherently different between V6 and V7 if they're assigned a WU from the same project but WUs from different projects might have different levels of efficiency and might use different amounts of power creating different amounts of heat. Please find the logs for both the projects that work and those which do not (from both V6 and V7) and perhaps we can determine the difference.
Laptop fully shutting down?

Re: Laptop fully shutting down?
V7 uses supporting software that is not used by v6, like .Net and C++ libraries. Is your OS fully patched?

Re: Laptop fully shutting down?
Interesting, 7im I am not sure if it is fully patched. However I do have an update.
The laptop will run without being plugged in with the AC Adaptor.
Once I plug the AC adaptor into my laptop, the fan will run heavier, and after 5 minutes or even before the laptop will shutdown when running the client. F@H is the only program my laptop will shutdown on as well whenever I have my AC adaptor plugged into the laptop.

Re: Laptop fully shutting down?
Fah will pause on baterry power. When plugged in to AC, fah starts and appears to overheat the laptop so it shuts down. When was the laptop last cleaned out or serviced?

Re: Laptop fully shutting down?
F@H MIGHT pause on battery power, depending on how you set it up...
Also, depending on the power control setup, many laptops will default to a lower CPU clock on battery power, which significantly reduces heat output. On this machine as I type, I can see (via CPU-ID HWMonitor) a 15-20C reduction in CPU core temp within a few seconds of pulling the power plug. F@H continues, but at the lower CPU speed.
Some laptops also have active fan control capability via the power setup. Make sure yours is set for max cooling -- NOT 'less noise' or 'balanced' -- when on AC power.
