Acer Predator Helios 16 experienced issues when under heavy usage.
Typically you'd replace the GPU with another one. Because you're using a laptop, you can test it with the CPU's integrated graphics. Try stress-testing using the iGPU instead of the dedicated GPU. I'm not sure how BIOS updates function on Acer devices, but they should work similarly to other manufacturers; just update them in the BIOS. Did this software come pre-installed on your laptop, or did you install it yourself from a third-party source?
Attempted to change GPUs, yet IGPU remains unaffected regardless of selection. Also found issues when trying to set it via Windows or NVIDIA control panel.
The issue with games is they often work fine for hours, but sometimes they crash after just a short time. I don’t have enough time to test them because I’m away and won’t return until tomorrow. Another point: unplugging the charger helps because it reduces the device’s performance.
Based on the model and specifications, the iGPU assumes control when the laptop runs on battery. Adjust settings in the control panel (Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings) to your preference.
Sure! Let me know if you'd like to adjust your plan or have more questions.
