Zephyrus G16 4080 2024 shutting down when gaming

My Zephyrus is shutting down when I'm gaming like many others have reported here and in Reddit, just simply shuts down, no BSOD, no warning, nothing, just a black screen and zero fan noise all of a sudden. I've tried everything you can think of, fresh windows install, Asus Cloud recovery, new drivers, old drivers, removed secondary SSD and disconnected external monitors, elevated the laptop, put it in an IETS500GT stand and nothing seems to help. I've purchased this laptop in the US and brought it back to Brazil for no warranty for me unfortunately. 

I have collected .WIM logs after a shut down and sent it to Asus support but it has been 2 weeks and no response from them.

I'm open to suggestions or recommendations on anything I can try to solve this issue, please help!
