So, I've just downloaded G-helper for context, because I'm running an Asus TUF A15 Laptop (R7 7435HS, 32GB RAM, RTX 4060 8GB, 512gb SSD) and Armory crate sucks.
All has been going smoothly, been running TLOU Part 2 with an external portable OLED running off a 3.2x2 USB-C that does both Displayport Alt mode, and Power Delivery (more than enough for the screen anyway). CPU sometimes gets up to the high 80's, low 90's under heavy usage but that's about par for the course and its been a bit better since I set some more aggressive fan profiles with G-helper.
Anyway, I unplugged the laptop to drain the battery for a bit so that I could set it to "smart charge" and have the battery not charge over 80%. Left it running some youtube.
Got back to find that the screen had turned off and the laptop had gone into sleep mode because my "on battery" settings told it to. Ah well, no biggie. Pressed the external keyboard to wake the laptop up (the laptop lid is closed at all times as I put the OLED on top of it to save space).
It briefly goes to the windows login screen before the screen goes black and the fans start ramping up from the whisper they were idling at. Nothing I could do would get my display back, not even opening the lid and trying to use the in-built crappy screen. I ended up having to force-shutdown via the power button.
Event viewer shows the following:
"The system was hibernated due to a critical thermal event.
Hibernate Time = 2025-04-09T05:02:35.182980000Z
ACPI Thermal Zone = \_TZ.THRM
_HOT = 328K"
328 Kelvin is only 54 degrees celsius, and I don't know any component in the system - be it CPU, GPU, VRAM, DRAM, VRMs, or even the SSD, that would trigger a shutdown at 54c. This seems ridiculous.
What is going on?
Edit: Laptop is also functioning normally after this forced reboot. There is also an error message saying that windows failed to wake from hibernation, right before the part where it says "the system reboot was unexpected" (from me holding down the power button lol)
