    Power limit usually causes throttling rather than a crash. Try increasing your voltage slightly (5-10mv or so).

    Yes.
    I imagine that is a 5mv overvolt, so that give it a try.

    OK tried this using Throttlestop no luck at all
    But i noticed when playing on battery no problem at all....
    Also when playing on high resolution say 4K problem gone (my normal is 1080p)
    So im assuming my laptop receiving more power than it need ?

    I expect you adjusted voltage equal for both Core and Cashe in ThrottleStop.
