    My laptop freezes randomly most of the time now and I don't know why but usually, it's after playing and there's no way out but to force it shut down(power button) then everything will be back to normal. Do you guys have any clues what the problem is and how to fix this? Thank you for anyone who would be kind to help me.

    you need to monitor your CPU / GPU Temps

    You can use something like CPUz and GPUz for one.

    also some specs on your laptop would help.
