Laptop blackscreen under load

[picklewi]

I have owned this Sager NP8152 (Clevo P650RP6) for two years, and recently I've been getting a freeze with a black screen while playing games. I decided to reinstall windows 10, run windows memory dianostic as well as memtest, burn in test, and furmark. Furmark blackscreens that laptop after about 7 minutes (@ 70-74c).

I have used DDU and reinstalled both intel and nvidia graphics drivers and it still freezes. I am unsure now if this can be solved through software, or if it's a hardware issue.

Have you tried monitoring the system temperatures?

Have you tried monitoring the system temperatures?

Yes, the GPU gets around 70-74 degrees c, and the CPU gets to around 55-60. I don't think those are crashing temps.

No, unless the GPU or CPU was preset by the maker to not handle those temps (which is very unlikely) those are very normal temps.

Does this happen when doing anything else? Also, does it happen with all games or only specific ones?

It hasn't happened when doing anything not involving the GPU. I happened today retrying Furmark only 1 minute in @64 degrees c.

And have you tried playing them using the other integrated graphics? Yes, I know they don't look the same, but it is a way to check if it is in deed the GPU or not.
