    Could you add the Dell G7 7790 RTX 2070 Max-Q to the list of Max-Q RTX Thin Laptops? It bolts great performance for a good price. It goes on sale on Black Friday on Ebay each year for about $1400 USD.

    Update, A Dell technician popped in to do a motherboard replacement and the laptop is now running 100%. Even got a thermal repaste so I might see better thermal values. The technician said through his 4 years of being a technician, this is his 4th incident he's seen this happen to laptops. It's a very rare occurrence.

    Awesome glad I helped. Maybe I'll use drivereasy, maybe it'll speed things up on my laptop. Already done the other things you tried.

    Try doing a process of elimination: take out all RAM sticks except 1, unplug gpu and run on onboard display, only plug in your OS drive. If you've done all of that, it's your PSU, it's dead. Time to upgrade!

    Go into BIOS and fiddle with some turbo boost settings for the CPU. Try enabling and disabling some options and see if there's a difference. Try changing the registry key PowerThrottlingOff value to 1 in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerThrottling". Make sure GeForce Experience isn't capping your framerate. There's a setting called Battery Boost in Settings, turn it off. Also, turn Whisper mode off. Better yet, uninstall it, it blows, if it is on your system. Kind of weird your laptop is doing this though, that laptop's got some beef. Maybe view Event Viewer and see if there are any tell-tale errors that show performance loss.

    Ya I tried removing the cmos battery and the laptop battery and completely drained the power, let it sit for a couple hours, held the power button stuff, still no post. But i didn't try just running it on the power supply with no plugged battery. I'll give that a go

    Update, so far Dell Technical Support has gone ahead with a motherboard replacement. From my knowledge, this will fix the bios issue, unless the bios is separate from the motherboard in laptops? I'm not too savvy with the technicals with laptops.

    Well I'll sent it in for warranty then. Better them to open things up then me to save voiding warranty.

    So, After neglecting windows 10 updates for about 6 months I decided to get updates and do a restart. Unbeknownst to me, my laptop went through a bios update, and about 2 seconds in the update the screen went black, and words out of my mouth were just 'no'. Albeit the laptop wasn't plugged in, the battery was above 50%. The computer ceases to display any sign of power, other than the sound of spinning fans, then after a few seconds the laptop shuts off. So I now have a paperweight gaming laptop. Also warranty expired 7 DAYS AGO. Woo. I'm contacting the warranty team to see what they can offer. In the meantime, are the any solutions I can do to fix a shutdown during bios update? Cheers.

    Cool thanks for the info.

    Everything switched off for me and 1 second later rebooted. Try seeing if there's any errors you can diffuse in event viewer.

    Update, I remembered I had a spare PSU, Cooler Master 700w, plugged it in and tested all the things that would make my pc crash and running fine, and was even was able to oc to 4.8Ghz stably. Thanks heaps for all your help. Is 700w too much though? Can I get away with 450w?

    I'll do that when I can, but I want to track down the other issue first I kind of do hope it is, because that is easier to replace than a CPU lol.
