Acer Predator 15 G9-593 - Games freezing for 3-10 seconds

Hello

My laptop has ALWAYS had issues when playing games. Usually when a new event happens like killing a boss or a bunch of things at once happen.

I've updated ALL of my drivers. I've changed all of my power options so nothing is turning off and is all running at maximum performance.

In CS: Go it freezes for 5-15 seconds every 1 minute.
In a non-demanding game, Enter the Gungeon or Binding of Isaac, it freezes for 2-6 seconds when something happens, like picking up a new item etc.

I've tried everything I can possibly find on the internet and nothing solves this issue. Help!

Have you tried updating BIOS to latest version? If not you can download the BIOS from this link: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/support-product/6964?b=1

Download and install version 1.12 which is the latest. It can be found under BIOS/Firmware. Make sure the battery is fully charged and laptop connected to charger before executing the installlation.

I checked my temps in the new hitman. After 10 minutes my cpu was at 97-99 and my gpu was at 87!! This is after I undervolted the cpu.

That is way too hot. You need to either send it in for re-paste or re-paste it yourself.

Okay, I've bought some stuff and I'll replace the paste. Problem is, I have problems on non intensive games that aren't overheating the laptop. Still get random freezes. Usually when something new happens. Like a brand new action/sound
