8 month old Razer Blade 17 power supply randomly shutting off

I have a Razer Blade 17 (2021 model) I purchased earlier this year and it seems like the power supply randomly shuts off to where I have to unplug it from the wall and plug it back in.  Then I have to open up the laptop to press the power button again where it resumes from an “unplugged” sleep.  I’ve never had this issue with any other laptop in my 40 years of IT.  Even the ASUS this replaced never had an issue with it. Any suggestions as this should still be under warranty?

    Hello, i am too the owner of a razer blade 17 but mine is a 2022 model, it has this issue as well, this happens extremely intermittently and my guess is the power delivery on the motherboard itself, this issue only can happen once the gpu is under high load conditions where it pulls anything above 100w in my testing,  i am going to try to place thermal pads on the VRM’s of the motherboard to see if the temps are the issue as this only happens either once every few months or in my testing period after around 22 hours of any constant load condition over 100w from the gpu after a week of consistent testing

    Ugh, I was incorrect, mine is the 2022 model as well.

    Mine usually happens when there is no active use on it as in overnight.  

    As a note, I have a vertical stand so there is decent air flow for cooling at all times as I know most laptops these days tend to run hot.
