I opened up the laptop case yesterday and cleaned out all the dust. It appears to have fixed it for now.
Laptop keeps randomly shutting off
Hello, so I have a Acer Predator Helios 300. Starting 30-40 minutes ago the battery stopped charging even though it was plugged in. It would say 83% remaining but the lightning icon was still there. Anyways after that it randomly shut down and I turned it back on. However, a few minutes after that it immediately shut off again. This went on for a few more times. I ran sfc/scannow as administrator but it said no issues found. I'm assuming it's because of either power(the charger can't provide enough power to the laptop) or the fans(poor ventilation due to dust) I'm hoping it isn't because of BIOS. Please help I genuinely don't know what to do and I just bought a new SSD too.

To help isolate the problem, do the following steps:
Disable Fast Startup:

Disable overclocking. If the computer has overclocking enabled, disable it. Verify that the issue occurs when the system runs at the correct speed.
Check the memory. Use a memory checker to determine the memory health and configuration. Verify that all memory chips run at the same speed and that every chip is configured correctly in the system.
You can test the RAM with the free utility MemTest86, then run a full 8 pass scan to test your RAM for physical errors:

Check the power supply. Verify that the power supply has enough wattage to appropriately handle the installed devices.
Check for overheating. Examine the internal temperature of the hardware and check for any overheating components.
