My laptop's GPU is overheating like crazy while the CPU cool

Hey there, so I just got my laptop fixed (Asus Zephyrus G15 2022, Ryzen 7, RTX 3060) and my laptop now has a major flaw.

 

My GPU will run at 100% while playing any game (even CPU intensive) and will hit temps of 98-100°C, meanwhile my CPU will casually sit at 70ish (which isn't normal since the CPU would always sit way higher than the GPU, unless I was running RTX or something along the lines, which even then.. the CPU would sit at the same temps as the GPU, not any lower)

 

I've even gone ahead and reapplied the thermal paste but it hasn't seemed to have fixed the issue.

 

Simple games like Minecraft can't even run over 20FPS. Meanwhile, before the repair, Minecraft would run at 400FPS with the GPU happily sitting at around 50°C while the CPU did most of the work running at 90°C (which is normal)

 

I've clean installed drivers again, reset BIOS to default settings, underclocked, basically everything. Yet nothing works

 

My laptop is a gaming laptop, yet now it can't do the one thing it is meant for, game.

 

In fact, things are so bad that my GPU will sit at 70°C while watching YouTube, it's nuts! 

 

I can't do anything properly whatsoever.

 

(Note: fans are clean, thermal paste has been reapplied, drivers have been reinstalled)

Oops, sorry my bad. Basically the ram was faulty and caused the laptop to shut down. Simply replacing the stick of RAM brought it back to life but also caused a few issues. The RAM is working perfectly fine though so I don't really know what's causing the issue.

When you say 'shut down', do you mean it would cause the system to BSOD, or actually power down? What other issues were caused when the RAM was replaced? The ones in the first post?
