It's in warranty. Time to make the call.

See if they support it and if not, go for a refund. Plenty of good gaming laptops out there.

For example I know a game that used to BSOD when on 16x antialiasing. But you didn't reveal much but instead asked for folk to commit to helping you before you told enough for anyone to dive in. This is why it's a warranty issue. New laptop crashing. Not your problem yet.
