laptop gpu not getting enough power?

overturnedv1

when i play overwatch or fortnite, my external 144hz monitor i use via hdmi (when im not using the monitor i get crashes but instead of the screen dying the game crashes) and when using the monitor, it sometimes crashes but usually flickers a little and then dies out, with game and sounds still running. Fix please cant even run any games. When i get into a fight it uses more power and the gpu sorta just dies and thats when it starts happening.

Is it the first time that you’re using that external monitor with your laptop? I mean by that: have you played on the laptop + monitor combo before without problems?

because if it does not your power brick might be at fault. If it does crash then it might be internal. Your warranty should cover either situation.

then its a motherboard issue, i suggest call your manufactures customer service and RMA for a new laptop or if they can fix the issue.
