    My educated guess is that ur laptop CPU is hitting 100C which automatically throws a BSOD since this is the set temp limit or some other hardware is failing. This is hard to diagnose without troubleshooting which would include;

    Running a Prime95 test to see if it gives a BSOD. (Prime95 is a free stress test that won’t damage your laptop)

    Swapping out ram sticks (if it’s 2 x 4gb then you would remove one and use it and see if it gives you a BSOD)

    Ensuring that you have all the latest drivers which I linked earlier.

    Unfortunately Acer only has a 1 year warranty

    Some people run Prime95 for upto 24 hours :p, usually 30 minutes to an hour is enough. Small ffts then large ffts

    Bought a brand new Alienware 17 and had nothing but problems with it.
    Also had a HP gaming laptop which was like 1k, it was decent but the casing they put them laptops in is an absolute joke, falls to bits with ease

    Post the full specs? Sounds like it could be a ripoff.

    Not sure if the price is good for your location, but that seems like a great build.

    Have you pulled the laptop apart for any obvious damage or cables/components slightly out of socket? I had major issues years ago that was down to a simple ribbon cable half out of the socket, including a carpet of dust. Blew all the air out it was as good as new. Your cpu could be cooking?
