Laptop freeze problem

[Rotar Rafael]

Hello! I have a problem where my laptop freezez during gaming, specifically when playing rise of the tomb raider on about medium settings.

The laptop doesn't really heat up too much, but it's not a gaming laptop to have that good extra cooling

I am using an Asus VivoBook S15. The specs are:

 

-Cpu: i5 8265 , Turbo at 3.9 Ghz;

-Gpu: Nvidea GeForce Mx150;

-8 Gb RAM at 2400Mhz;

-1 TB HDD (Where the game is installed) and 120 GB SSD (for Windows 10 Pro)

 

I'm not sure if this is a heating problem and I should lower thr gpu clocks or undervolt the cpu, or I should just lower the game settings, or I should overvolt the cpu so it gets more stable.

Sometimes the game doesn't freeze, sometimes it freezes 10 mins in, and sometimes it freezes about 30 in.

When the game freezes, everything spots working and only the screen displays the last processed frame and I have to restart the Laptop.

The game runs preety ok, i get like 30-60 fps, depends on the scene

 

I don't know the problem so I came hrer for help from some more experienced people

You say you don't think it's an overheating problem, but have you specifically checked the temperatures themselves? Laptops tend to gather dust and hair very easily causing the vents to be clogged.
