After 3 years of owning my laptop and have a blast of a time with it, a Acer Nitro 5 from 2018, equipped with a 1060, my GPU has entered a sort of coma like state. It works, or it shows as working, for the first 5 minutes after a restart, but after that it goes inactive and there aren't any games/benchmarks that can use it. I've tried everything I knew, reinstalls, checking every option and even going to a PC shop to see what's happening. To be onest, I've tortured this laptop at 98-99 °C while playing, because the thermal paste wasn't very good and I did some overclocking on the GPU. Anyways the shop told me the GPU is essentially dead, they weren't able to get it off the mother board to exchange it and that's all. But even now I wonder, why does it shows as working even tho it's not working and the laptop does not know that there is a GPU in it?
