I am writing this message from my Main Desktop PC and it scares me that this game will eventually destroy my main pc as well, the Laptop isn't charging anymore i tried removing the battery and doing a direct outlet startup but it won't even show a charging indicator.

EDIT: For Additional Context:
Since its a gaming laptop and it freezes i had to completely drain the battery and boot it up as a hard reset since it turned everything unresponsive.

I did those Setting Changes so i could have a little control in turning the game off - if it did freeze. Now i have to bring it to the ASUS Service Center to see what really happened tomorrow i'll post more details about if the brick was caused by the constant freezing or the settings applied.
