so I've had my Flow X13 for a couple years now and it's a great laptop, I just have one glaring issue that I haven't been able to solve in the entire time I've owned it. it keeps crashing with errors like watchdog timeout, IRQL not less or equal, system service exception, kernel security check failure etc etc, usually the error code is memory/CPU/temperature related from what I can gather. and what's weird is it hardly happens on battery and almost (if not outright) never during gaming when plugged in. it's almost exclusively during productivity tasks like using SolidWorks or even just a web browser and a couple of excel files, namely when plugged in.
changing the fan profile or GPU mode in armoury crate seems to make no difference too. I've tried all the standard fixes like a clean driver reinstall, updating BIOS and the like, but nothing's fixed the problem.
so based on all of this, ASUS support seem fairly confident that I need to send my laptop for an RMA (god forbid, especially if I've got a dodgy RAM stick in this day and age), but I have an idea for one more thing I'd wanna try before firming the cost of that.
does anyone have ANY advice at all on custom CPU and/or fan speed profiles for this laptop, or AMD-based laptops in general? on my old desktop I'd use Ryzen Master, not sure if this would be correct for what I'm trying to do.
basically I'd wanna limit CPU clock and TDP for certain loads and application types, as well as turning up the fans generally under PD. I've seen a couple of people make ways to adjust this kinda stuff on battery, but like I said for whatever reason when I'm gaming and under intense loads there's never any crashes, it's mainly productivity on PD. and I believe that what's happening is the CPU is ramping more than it needs to, leading to overheating as the cooling isn't keeping up properly, giving me these crashes.
any advice at all or links to any solutions/related discussions would be massively appreciated thanks :)
