Good evening ,
I've purchased a new asus rog strix gl502vmk recently. Played PUBG for 2 days without any issues. Thermals sitting around 80-90 degrees. On the third day , after a match , the system froze for a moment and rebooted without any BSOD. The same thing occurred for the next couple of games.
Initially I thought the game was at fault , but then when I played paladins, it happened again after 2 matches.
After a bit of google searching, I've come to know about various issues that might trigger the reboot. It's either the thermals, or the windows, or the PSU . (please tell me if there's any other)
So I'm pretty sure it's not the thermals, since the temperature before the reboot were around 85 degrees both for GPU and the CPU. I've undervolted the cpu by 0.130v.

Could it be the adapter ?. that really confuses me because, why would the manufacturer provide with something that couldn't handle it's hardware. Anyways , here's the model of my AC adapter, ASUS ADP180MB F. When i googled it i got to know that it's a 180watt .

The notebooks specs are :
CPU : i7 7700hq
GPU : GTX 1060 6gb
Memory : 16gb
Runs on windows 10.

PS : Ran a prime95 test for 1 hr 30mins, and then stopped. No errors.

reduce your undervolt , its not completely stable. mine behaved like yours for like 3 day on -0.125mv (in my case, -0.115mv fixed it ). ... i played all my games it was fine , then when i played either gta 5 or bf1. it used to crash , increase it to -0.0120mv and see if it goes away. if it crashes. keep increasing it. synthetic are never a good indicator as i have learned.. hope it works out for you. and try to get your cpu and gpu repasted. i did it to mine and now i sit in the high 70s when playing bf1. good luck :)
