Hello, I have laptop mentioned in title and I have problem that bugs me for 2+ months and it's really annoying. Can't give it to warranty anymore.

I can easily run most of games on medium details with smooth framerate but everytime I use my GPU (my laptop has intel and gpu, I use GPU for demanding games and intel for web surfing, youtube videos, photoshop etc. ) laptop stops getting power from charger and starts again in quick intervals.

Basically it acts like it's not being powered but in fact it is. I noticed when I raise my details in some games to ultra and get less fps (for example 20) it's not happening, but it's also happening very quickly when I raise my details to low and get over 100 fps.

My friend thought it has something to do with Optimus and it's probably problem with drivers, I installed drivers from official Acer pages and it's still happening.

When I contacted NVIDIA they told to go to repair shop that it's probably something with bios.

I am really friggin' desperate for some solution (if there is any) before I carry my machine to repair shop and I'll have to suffer without it unless they fix it.
