So this isn't my first post on this topic, but since the whole of the internet could not come up with any solution to this problem, I am asking this question again. My computer either totally shuts down or freezes up with a black/pixelated screen while playing. I am mostly a CSGO player, and this happens as soon as any graphically challenging situation happens in-game. This is a problem that I have battled with for over a year now.

Here's the sequence of events in order over a year: -
1. Last year, it was a thermal problem. Same symptoms. Temps were touching 100C, so I repasted my laptop with some TG Kryonaut, along with undervolting and maxing out fan speeds to play my game. That seemed to solve the issue. Still, within a month or two, my temps were back upto 96 - 98, but my game still worked so I didn't think more.
2. This year, in January, a couple of keys stopped responding for me, so I got a keyboard replacement as well as a full service cleaning/repasting of my laptop. My temps seemed better than ever after that. I was playing at 76C but only for 2 days. Then the black screen/shut down problem started happening again and this time I could not even blame the temps.
3. This time I did a bios downgrade. I went from 1.26 to 1.15 and it solved my problem. However, dumb as it is, regardless of how many auto updates I turned off, the bios used to get updated to 1.19 every 2 days or so and the problem started returning a couple days after each upgrade. Each time that happened, I did the downgrade again and it solved the problem (for a couple of days). Until yesterday, when the bios downgrade too wouldn't do anything. 

Things I have already tried 
1. Repasting
2. CPU Undervolting
3. Bios Downgrade
4. Multiple clean OS reinstalls.

Absolutely not a ***** thing works. At this point I am willing to try literally anything hardware or software.
This is the latest iteration of this stupid problem. Literally 10 seconds into CSGO.
