Problems and Issues: windows update wasnt installing: fixed by cleaning up some files. Random shutdowns/wake up: fixed by updating firmware and changing some GPU power settings. Now running perfect 👌

I'm currently enjoying Khazan: The First Berserker on my Lenovo Legion 7i non-Pro Gen 10 with rtx 5070, also with 8GB VRAM, at 120fps at 4k max settings. That 5070 is undervolted to 80 watts & performs like a boss at 70% of stock power.
I used C1 Shopping rewards to get it for under $1000. What a time to be alive!

I'm also having random freezings.
I compared against the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i and the performance is night and day difference. I can't even run youtube videos without videos freezing for 10-20 seconds every minute or so on this laptop. Frame rate is 1/3 what I get on the Legion Pro 7i.
Either its the huge number of bloatware running in there or the overheating.
The screen is nice. The lightweight nature of this laptop is nice. I can easily lift with one hand. But, something is badly off. I ran benchmarks and everything seems fine with the benchmarks. I don't know what is going on.
