I wouldn't mind if this was done transparently in the BIOS in a way I could control and dial up or down to suit everyone's needs. This equipment is pushed to the max already. What I suspect is the so called 'optimizations' that ASUS does in their various BIOS versions are actually pushing the video card to squeeze yet another FPS or some other bull****** that the gaming crowd salivates over. Surprise surprise, laptop stopped rebooting itself for no reason. So as a last resort I went on the ASUS website and downloaded version 325 and updated with the UEFI flash utility. The sudden restarts started after windows sent the 327 BIOS update. Is there a solution?Īnother update and warning to whoever finds this and has similar problems. In case anyone asks, I have all the latest windows updates, went to myasus and it found some PD updates which I installed. So it is clearly tied to the nvidia dedicated card. Ah just to clarify, if I keep the laptop in eco state, the restarts don't happen. Other than keep it elevated is there anything I can do? I need to operate in standard or optimized gpu state because I use WSL2 and it will not start in Eco State. If I lift the laptop on a stand the situation seems a bit better. Physics cannot be bull******ed no matter what the marketing department says. There just isn't enough air intake nomatter what liquid metal bull****** was used for cooling. I have to say that the restarts seem to happen when the laptop sits on a table. Yesterday I received the latest bios update 327 I think and I got 5 restarts. It started to appear after some bios update.

The weird part is that I don't remember it being an issue in the first weeks after I got it. This leads to a lot of heat being generated in the F5-F10 keys region followed by sudden restart. From my tests this only happens when Nvidia card is in use. This essentially means a sudden loss of power but not much else. Windows in its infinite wisdom cannot say more than that. In the event viewer I get the Kernel Power error with event ID 41. The major issue I have is the fact that when I set it in a standard GPU mode or optimized and the Nvidia card gets used a little too much, the laptop restarts suddenly. I don't know who designed this laptop and then who programmed the software but there are serious flaws with both. I got this rog flow x13 because it appeared to tick all the boxes i wanted but sadly it is a nightmare.
