Question Max board power draw on laptop results in power-throttled GPU ?

[survivioplayer]

Laptop model: Gigabyte Aorus G7

Behavior is usually normal on reboot, but randomly pushes the GPU power draw to 590w and irreversibly power limits it until I reboot again.
Games run at 5 FPS or so slow that physics [ PhysX? ] slows down when in power limited state.

Hey there,

Is the GPU a RTX3060? If so this GPU can only draw 105w. The power brick for the laptop is prob about the 230w mark. There is no way your GPU could be drawing that much power.

What are you using to monitor the temps? Are all system drivers, including chipset up to date? What about bios?

it's a 4060, it probably can't actually draw 590 W but that's what GPU-Z and MSI afterburner record whenever it happens

WHat does HWInfo report?
