1 MacBook Pro a1398 mid 2015 restarts under gpu load
Hey everyone.
Super excited to be joining the community.
I've recently brought a macbook pro 15" mid 2015 without the dedicated gpu (820-00138).
It was a mess when I bought it and the battery was swollen to its limit. So I disassembled everything, cleaned the PCB carefully and removed the battery. It now turns on with the charger and I was able to easily install windows.
All seemed ok until I decided to do some stress testing. The issue starts when I try to do anything gpu related. As soon as I start a gpu benchmark, the system restarts and I'm back to where I started. CPU benchmark didn't replicate the issue.
Is it possible that the issue is related to battery not being in the system yet? I want to make sure before ordering one.
PS: I played 4k videos on YouTube and didn't notice the same issue.
PS II: I bought the item to start repairing as a hobby, and have no issues working on the motherboard as I have some basic equipment to work on it and try my luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

As I suspected, no difference on MacOS. Still restarts on gpu stress test.
I've read about the 3 cpu MOSFETs that usually cause crash and shut down/restart the device which is a common issue with this model. but the way I understood it, they are a result of cpu idle mode not gpu under load.
Could they be related and these 3 MOSFETs are the issues here as well?
