I've owned this laptop for close to 2 years. Ever since I saw on Reddit how great the deal was for $1200 at BestBuy instead of the $1600 price tag, I jumped at the deal. I have been dealing with crashing issues ever since I got it. Even though this laptop has the TDG/TDP of 190 watts, it can't even get close to that amount without crashing. I heard how bad Armory Crate was and heard good things about Ghelper. It has been okay so far, but I have to curate presets for every game that I play and if the power limits are not perfect, the computer overheats and crashes. Every game that I play, I have to test power limits and have the game crash about 10 times before I get the power limits right. I was having issues playing Escape the Backrooms and noticed that all my presets were deleted. I believe Ghelper updated itself and wiped all my presets. Even though this laptop has capabilities of playing games at 1440p, I have to set almost every game to 1080p or it crashes due to overheating. Usually when I first launch I game, I make a preset for it and set the power limits as low as possible, so I can fine tune the wattages. Sometimes, the wattage is too low and the FPS is low and sometimes the wattage is too high and overheats and crashes. So, my question to you is what power limiting software are you using and what settings do you have it at so that you can play games without having to do this tedious work to get it to run right? Since there are multiple ROG Strix G15's, this is the one with a Ryzen 9 5980HXZ and Radeon RX 6800M. About a year ago, I upgraded the ram to 32 GBs with sticks recommended from a youtube video. I also upgraded the m.2 SSDs. This laptop has left a sour taste in my mouth for both gaming laptops and AMD cards. I may never own another if I'm not able to fix this issue. I also included a picture of my ghelper settings for what I have for most games.
