Windows 10: Laptop Crashing At Certain Points While Gaming

It's been over 5-6 months since i've bought my ASUS FX505DV through Amazon and right away i've noticed some problems where the OS BSoDs once i reach certain temperatures on stock clocks, it literally can't be played normally out-of-the-box that i've been forced to underclock it to keep stable. Since then, it was normal - i was able to run games normally now - but ALWAYS at Low Graphics settings which defeats the purpose of the Ryzen 5 + RTX 2060 of the laptop i bought.


I'm starting to think i had bought a defective laptop, because even with all my drivers updated and such; i still encounter BSoDs as if the hardware itself has a problem in the first place.


Back to my problem, though. Recently, the OS crashes i've been getting lately have NO BSoDs now. Straight to black screen, then a full restart. I've tried to look through Event Viewer; but none seem to help me determine what's causing the laptop to crash during gaming. My suspicions are primarily towards the GPU of this laptop; which is a 2060 - or maybe a driver that i've overlooked and forgot to update.


I have minidump files here that are a bit aged, but still usable in tracking the culprit - but i do not know how to upload it for any of you that can help me out.

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

crashes in certain games

Are they just random crashes? Or do they most commonly occur 5 minutes into playing a certain game?

 

Random laptop crashes in games.

thats alright bro, If it does turn out to be an overheating issue, I'll let you take all the credit for suggesting it
