I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y510P with a single GT755M GPU. Whenever I attempt to play a game that is graphically intense, my game will become pixelated, freeze, and lead to my laptop restarting itself. When the game freezes, I can Alt+Tab out and I will have a notification stating "application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware". Then after about 10 seconds the laptop will restart itself. Right before it shuts off though, the GPU fan will go from being at a moderate speed to ludicrous speed.
I originally thought that the GPU was overheating, so I purchased a CoolerMaster Notepal U2 Plus (A cooling pad with adjustable fans.) for it. However seeming that this cooling pad did not fix this problem. I believe the GPU may be faulty or malfunctioning. I wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations on how to fix this problem, and if other people think that my GPU is faulty, my laptop it still under warranty. I just do not want to send it in if the problem is fixable.
Here is a in game screenshot from State of Decay of when the game freezes and becomes pixelated.
