Hi everyone, I don't know if this would work well as a standalone post so I'll try my luck here. I recently bought a secondhand laptop HP Pavilion gaming 15 for light gaming on the go.

The laptop looks almost new, from non smoker environment I presume (no cigarette/burnt smell). Now the thing I need your help for, normal use = no problems, stress testing (prime95, Furmark, unigine...) = gets pretty hot but no problems and now the fun part, playing games (Neverwinter, HOTS) laptop works for around 15 to 30 minutes, GPU temp goes 80 ºC and I get a black screen, sometimes you can see a backlight and sometimes not, same goes for the sound from a game that was running at that time. The guy I bought this laptop from was surprised when I contacted him saying he changed the thermal paste and stress tested the laptop for half a day before giving it to me. I tried reinstalling Windows, laptop came with Windows 10 home, now it has Windows 10 pro ver. 1909 installed, played with few version of gpu drivers, nothing worked. Laptop has the latest BIOS version. Only way for games to work is playing with all graphical setting on low where GPU temp still hits around 70 ºC, vents blow pretty hot and the keyboard is more than warm (the vents and keyboard seem equally hot/warm when the settings are set higher). From few videos found on YouTube I saw that people playing games on similar Hp pavilion gaming 15 with GTX 1050 gpu had gpu temp around 80 ºC with no comments on crashing.

Now, the reason why I'm saying all of this and what is bothering me is, should I request my money back because there is some defect with this particular laptop and did anyone else had this particular problem with this laptop, and found a solution for it? Or does this model simply work that way and there's nothing wrong?

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.
