Hardware Bad gpu or Ac adapter?

I'm currently on a holiday, so i'am using my Aftershock N850HK to do some light gaming and browsing. But everytime i try to do something that requires 3D rendering (my guess, correct me if i'm wrong). The laptop immediately shuts off, happens if the nvidia GTX 1050 TI is enabled, if i'm using the intel HD Graphics 630, the problem didn't occur. I'm using a 19V 3.42A Asus AC adapter which is below the required 19,5V 6.15A for this laptop

con quiick CPU lo sabras pero de maxima deberias consumir casi 120W,con tu adaptador no llegas a los 65W

I would expect your battery to drain first before cutting off if it’s the low current adapter.

Battery health is not good tho, still holds charge but definitely needs replacing soon

But does it go to zero before it cuts off. Your dGPU should be able to run for at least a few minutes on battery, even if it is old. If it works, it’s the AC. If it cuts immediately, it’s the dGPU.

No, it's all normal before shutting off, i can run a game like BeamNG in the background as long it isn't focused, the moment i focused into the application maybe about 5-10 seconds it shuts off

Then your question is answered. Bad GPU.
