Hi.My laptop (i9-13950hx (B0), 4080, 32gb, Win 11 23H2) is 6 months out of warranty and is suddenly overheating on idle to the point where everything is throttled and basic tasks are too much to handle.I read about the Intel degradation issue a few days ago and figured I’d update everything to the latest drivers and that’s when I noticed the problems. I’ve gotten a lot of CLOCK_WATCHDGO_TIMEOUT BSODs ever since. I tried rolling back Intel and Nvidia drivers, which took many crashes (Nvidia specifically), and now it’s a little more stable (I can browse and maybe watch a Youtube video at the same time). The only thing I can’t rollback is the BIOS update.I did a repaste, but that didn’t change a thing. Sitting at 90-100°c idle. CPU and GPU utilization is nonexistant. I turned on the computer this morning and opened HWMonitor immediately. The temperature was at 68ish. I launched a game to see how fast it heats up and within 20-30 seconds it was at 100°c and throttling to where the game had 2-3 FPS. The fans are blowing, there’s hot air coming out of the exhaust. I have not overclocked or undervolted, everything is stock, apart from an extra SSD:I saw people on Reddit with a similar issue. They had their motherboards swapped out under warranty, but mine has expired so I’m not sure what I should do. I don’t game very much, this is my main computer for video editing work and this issue is about to cut into my project deadlines. Any thoughts?
