See what those BSODs are and like you said "got 2 random blue screens" as you should always make a note of any BSODs and fix those specific faults after you get them. Also have you got the last bios version 1.19 installed, as you should have that installed as it fixes allot of instability issues for this laptop. Also have you got at least 16GB dual channel (2x 8GB DDR4-3200MHz CL22 ram) installed, as for gaming dual channel is the best ram combination and games perform allot better with dual channel ram, with the AN515-57 you need at least 16GB dual channel ram but its preferable to have 32GB or even 64 GB that this laptop can have max, with the highest and quickest ram specs of DDR4-3200MHz CL22.

Use the GeForce Experience NVidia software for playing games for your AN515-57s laptop GPU and make sure that you are running the latest NVidia drivers and all windows and Intel drivers are up to date, as all this contributes to your laptop performing at its ultimate performance with gaming.

To see what bios version you have, go to "Search and type in > System Information and look at the below below section of your system info:

The AN515-57 BIOS drivers click on that link and have a look under BIOS/Firmware as there are 12 version and the LAST one that you should install is "1. Update Capsule flashing priority to fix recovery fail. - Version:1.19 - Date:2022/11/10 as installing this will install all previous BIOS versions and fixes also. Be careful and make sure that your laptop does not have any BSOD, and you have fixed those 2x BSODs problems.

Be Warned: As I take no responsibility if your laptop crashes in the middle of a BIOS update and has a BSOD blue screen (because you haven't fixed your laptop) as and if the laptop crashes in the middle of a BIOS update you will damage the BIOS chips program and corrupt it and that will make your laptop unusable as it won't boot. Acer warns every user the following: Upgrading your system BIOS incorrectly could harm your Acer product. Please proceed with caution so be careful.
