Hi, I need some help with my Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI.
Before, when I played on Performance Mode with Auto Fan only, my CPU temperature would usually average around 70–80°C, with occasional peaks of only 97–98°C.
Recently, something changed. Now my CPU peaks at 103°C, and even if I switch the fans to Max, the CPU still averages around 80–90°C while gaming. On Auto Fan, it’s even hotter.
The only thing I remember changing was installing the latest NVIDIA Game Ready Driver. Ever since then, the temperatures seem much higher.
Is it possible that the NVIDIA driver caused this, or is there another reason why my CPU temperatures suddenly increased so much? What should I check or troubleshoot?

I usually charge my laptop up to around 80%, then after I finish using it, I shut it down completely.

However, when I open it the next day, the battery level has dropped to around 70–75%. This has already happened about 5 times.

Some details:

• Laptop is fully shut down (not just sleep mode)
• Battery is charged only up to 80% (I avoid keeping it at 100%)
• Battery loses around 5–10% overnight while powered off

Is this normal behavior, or could there be an issue with the battery, BIOS settings, fast startup, or something else causing power drain while the laptop is off?

Any advice on what I should check would be appreciated. Thanks!
