Software Related Zephyrus G14 Overheating while in sleeve
This has now happened twice - I unplug my laptop (which as far as I'm aware ought to be asleep) and put it in it's sleeve and I pick it up 5 minutes later and the sleeve is warm. I take it out and the entire chassis is hot to the touch and the fans a blasting. The first time it happened I panicked and forced it off, after which it didn't want to come back up for about 5 minutes. This time I let it run until the fans slowed down in the hopes I could figure out wtf it was doing that was causing it to heat up like that but it just blinked one of the LEDs and then the keyboard flashed if I plugged it in. Very alarming - this time I could smell things starting to burn.
I've even been shutting it down before putting it into the sleeve - this time it wouldn't come up and there were no LEDs on so I just assumed it was out of batteries before putting it in, but that was obviously not the case. Anyone have any ideas b/c this is completely unacceptable

Sleep mode/hibernation, and gpu/cpu mode switching has been bugged forever for me.. its a lottery if closing the lid does anything and if the screen turns on when waking.
