    Sounds like thermal throttling, if you undervolted already then you probably got a bad thermal paste job on your chips. What games are you playing?

    Yea I'm thinking it's your thermal paste unless its terribly hot where you live. Maybe someone else can provide alternative ideas. You can either repaste it yourself or send it back to Acer, maybe talk to their tech support first and see what they have to say.
