PC runs hot when playing games and shuts down.
Post Body

Hi all, brand new to PC gaming so I'll apologise if a fix is obvious.

Just bought a new gaming laptop (Acer Predator Triton) and decided to put it through its paces. With games such as rainbow6 siege, warzone ect. it runs excellently (140 fps). When playing the Forest the temp jumps to 85-90C CPU and 68C GPU and the PC shuts down. I've gone through a litany of fixes (listed below) and If there is a reason/solution you guys have, please let me know.

Specs:

Processor-Intel® Core™ i7-10750H Processor, Hexa-core,2.6 GHz 5 GHz, 12 MB cache

RAM-16 GB DDR4 (2133 MHz), 32 GB maximum installable RAM

Graphics card- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max Q,8 GB GDDR6

Storage-1 TB SSD

Fixes attempted: -Lowered graphical quality, turned on V sync, made sure drivers were up to date-still over heated -changed max processor state to 90/80/60-still over heated -Switched fans to full while playing-did run well, but still clocking temps of 82C.

Anything else I could try would be appreciated, I'm not so attached to the game that I would let it melt my laptop if she's just too underpowered.

Edit: I'll be calling the customer support tomorrow to confirm, but if it helps anyones diagnosis, just ran a prime95 test and didn't pass 80C on CPU and 60C on the GPU, no shut downs either.
