Did you update ? If yes any changes ?
it seems like many owners have abandoned this laptop for a different brand/ model.
i'm also worried as i just got my G7 working again after close to 6 months (SSD issue + covid19 delaying everything). i saw a BIOS update, but having has horrible experience with the BIOS updates for this model, i go get worried.
BIOS updates are fine and shouldn't affect anything. If you are undervolting to lower temps, after the BIOS update, be sure to go into the BIOS, and select Restore Factory Defaults. Then undervolting will continue to work. (This is true of all BIOS versions released.)
Reason why in lay terms: This syncs the BIOS and Windows EFI microcode. When they are not synced, the BIOS won't allow software/Windows to change CPU settings.
