I am having a really annoying issue that is not allowing me to play games at all on my brand new laptop. Below are the specs:
Nitro 5 AN515-57 - i5-11400H - RTX 3050
16gb RAM - 1,5TB
This has happened while playing GTA 5 (medium to high specs) and even Valheim on medium specs.
I play the game for a few minutes and out of a sudden it starts lagging heavily. The reason is that the GPU suddenly stops working and gives all the work to the CPU, that gets over usage and is not able to handle the graphics.
The screenshot below shows exactly the moment that it happens. GPU usage dropped to 0% while CPU went all the way to almost 100%, until the laptop even shutdown automatically.
This is really annoying and it shouldn't be happening with games that are not so demanding. The temperatures were even ok, but I'm getting worried that this might be damaging my laptop. Anyone has any idea how to fix this issue?
