My laptop driving me crazy

[ZeeReD]

Hello
My laptop crashes and restart it self when playing games
And no, it's not overheating
My max temperature while gaming is 80c for the Cpu and 60c for The Gpu
My laptop is Sli, can this be the reason for the crashes?
And no, no Blue screen 

This is the Spec
MSI GT83VR 6RE 
I7-6820HK overclocked to 4.0Ghz
GTX 1070 sli 2x
RAM 16 GB 2400Mhz 
Nvme SSD 256 GB 
1TB HDD

*Side note there is a update for the Bios but i don't feel like updating, Can this be the reason?

If it was graphics usually the driver should hard crash and restart. The machine shouldn't fully restart. 

 

Does it do this in all 3D games or just in certain ones?

That could happen if he were running on battery. 

 

Though I suppose an SLI laptop like that probably has dual power bricks to power it under load. They might not be able to provide the power for full load.

Any way to know? 

I've increased the power limit in the bios from 200 to 230

In all of them 

Lowering the graphics to the lowest in some games kinda fix it

Run a GPU stress test.

I don't care about the score, I care about if it crashed or not. Did it?

No it did not

BTW in the bios the Cpu Core Voltage is set to 0 (Don't know if that helpful or not )

Try running a CPU stress test, and if that passes without an issue, run both GPU and CPU tests at the same time. If that doesn't crash it, run MemTest86. If that doesn't crash it, I don't know what will.

My old laptop would crash when I was using too mush power, especially when it was plugged in. I think there is a limit on how much power it can draw while plugged in. It might actually have more flexibility while running off of the battery. That battery has enough amps to start a car - the power adapters do not.

 

I had to make sure not to use the DVD drive or the laptop screen while gaming or converting videos.

 

Either way, I would just "turn it down" and test. Something isn't happy...

oh my god that actually work!!!

OK no crashes in all of them

but i discovered when playing with battery everything is fine 

and when use Nvidia DSR (and increase in game resolution to 2k or 4k) the problem stopped 

is that mean my laptop drawing power more than it need ?
