My laptop shutting down when opening game

Before I format my laptop, there is an issue when I open an application more specific a game it shut down automatically. To confirm that only games make it shut down I open some software applications and there were no issues.

The applications I open when my laptop shut down are Epic Games Launcher, Skyrim and Roblox. I tried all the possible solutions like scanning viruses and removing malware but the issue still appears.

I formatted my laptop and downloaded the epic games launcher to download a game but when I open it, it suddenly shut down, same issue when I tried to play Roblox. Is there a possibility that the issue is in the hardware? Thank you.

    Yes, when I open games, I look at the task manager and the GPU is running, but the game will not last up to over a minute.

    Unlike before when I open a game it hard shut down suddenly.

    Are you able to confirm if switchable graphics works on your model, and is this sufficient? If not is setting preferred GPU working for you?

    I'm done reading those articles. And I know how I can select my preferred GPU on games.

    I gave you articles to read to understand fully switchable graphics:

    https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/553770...

    Once you study the articles then set the graphics so that they are switchable, or for your preferred GPU.
