Hey guys, im new here but let me just start with my computer specifications:
Model: Aspire VN7- 593G
Proccessor: Intel i7 -7700HQ @ 2.8 ghz
Ram: 16 Gb
Memory: 500 GB SSD
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6 gb
Let me give some context, I bought this computer about a year ago in the united states. It has run well, but always a bit hot (95 - 100 Celcius). My ignorance of gaming made it so I never really saw this as an issue (I know, stupid). Anyways, 5 days ago, my GPU crashed playing CSGO. Or more so, my computers screen went black, and had to hard restart. Whenever I would run games, I would go from like 200 fps, 150 fps, 100 fps, 70 fps, 50 fps, then it would go to 10 fps in benchmarks and CSGO (and other games) until it would crash. Found out GPU was underperforming through some benchmarks as well. Also found out I have been playing way too hot. Yesterday, I un dusted my computer, turned off intel turbo boost, turned on acer CoolBoost tech. This is after having done a full system restart. Now my temps are good, and I dont think there is internal damage (or hope not). When explainig to a computer shop near me, they said I may have to re apply thermal paste, also dont hope to do this.
I have also:
- Re installed uninstalled drivers
- Updated Drivers
+ I also leave my computer mounted on a plastic stand for airflow all the time.
+ I have tried underclocking, no avail.
+ I also always keep it plugged in
+ Maximum, balanced power performance dont change anything (I have a custom plan with high performance but 99% Maxmimum function thing so it doesnt turbo CPU)
There was no driver update or windows update that caused this. I think my computer hit a breaking point.
Anyways, today I tried benchmarking AC Oddysey. Before all of the above, it would run at 10 fps. Now i am getting inbetween 15 to 60 fps! Ater that it went from about 15 to 40-60. Better than a constant 10 fps, But the stuttering shows something is wrong. Here is a link given to me to show that benchmark for

Do i need to repair it? Not sure how warranty works with having bought it in america and bring it home. Could the heat over a long time truly damaged the GPUs functionality?
