My new laptop freezes every few second I'm playing games. My laptop is Acer VN7-592G . The freezes happen very few minutes and last 2-3 seconds.

yes they are up-to-date and It doesnt matter on what Quality settings I'm playing, It still freezes every few seconds. Should I buy cooling pad and see if it fixes the problem cause my laptop is really hot, I even boosted fan speed but still it gives really hot air.
 
that may be a really good explanation. Try ventilating or cooling it better. See if that helps.

Recently I had a Lenovo Thinkpad here and it got really hot when placed on a table. If I raised it a tiny bit by running the charge cable under it, it ran at normal temps.

change the power scheme to high performance
and try to update your windows
while you are gaming make it windowed mode and open task manager to check your cpu usage while it freeze
try to defrag your harddrive and check your memory and harddrive for error
 
Check temperatures while gaming with msi afterburner.

Use Intel drivers update utility to update the chipset and vga driver

Install up to date NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA.com, if already done so, try the nvidia driver from the Acer homepage.

Run 3dmark basic edition (firestrike) and post the link which comes up at the end.

Do you play online or offline?

Crixilian I did that long ago and it doesnt help. And my drivers are up-to-date. I play online. GPU is 65-70 when I play games and CPU 65-85. The 3dmark doesnt work for me.
 
How did you install 3dmark? Where did you download it from?
Which version? 1.5.915 is the latest. Download from futuremark.com
There you can download systeminfo version 4.40 too.
Which windows do you have? Win 10?
Which antivirus software and firewall do you use?
 
Check your memory with memtest86+. Boot it from an USB thumb drive.

Check your hard drive with its manufacturer's tool.

your internet connection could be unstable
Check with dsl speed sites like speedtest.net

Do you run the laptop with power cable or just battery?

Uninstall McAfee, test with avg or avast or avira...
