Protective playing settings for laptop

Technical Support
1

Hi, so I got both my harddrive and video graphics processor replaced at the 11 month mark of a year-long warranty after it started crashing periodically about 9 months into playing diablo 3, and up to half a dozen times a day by the time I sent it in. I have a Acer Swift 3 with a nvidia geforce processor and a driver that I kept up-to-date, with “optimal” settings. I’m wondering if these “optimal” settings are too hard on the computer and if there are “protective” or “safer” settings that don’t drastically change gameplay, but improve the longevity of my computer. I like diablo, but I don’t have money to buy another computer if this one starts crashing again. There’s not many settings, but I don’t know what each will have on processing power or whatever caused my computer to start having critical system failures.

Thanks. I’ll do that, but I just copied it into a new one before you responded with this help, so one of them should get deleted by a mod.
