    There will not be an Unlocked Bios for your Packard Bell En TS11SB. It is very time consuming and takes skill to unlock a bios, so modders like SVET and Prema only works on enthusiast systems Like Clevo, MSI, and sometimes Alienware.

    That being said, I do not think your problem lies in the bios, and "unlocking it" will do nothing for you but show you some advanced security features.

    I would suggest reverting back to windows 7. There is no benefit on being on 8.1 in such an old low budget laptop. Your issues are most likely driver related.

    Without any ample info, You most likely have 1 (or more) of these 3 problems

    1) I would roll back your Radeon HD 6600M drivers back to the last time they were a supported card by AMD (probably 2015) as the card is from 2011

    2) Could be thermal issues. Should note Windows 8.1 runs hotter than Win 7. When is the last time you cleaned dust out of fams and radiator fins? Most likekely need new thermal paste too.

    EASY TEST:
    Run HWinfo64 "sensors only" while gaming or benchmarking to see if you are overheating

    3) Could be just a dying GPU
