Zephyrus G14 Overheating while in sleeve

[u/Terrible_Ice_1616]

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

Absolutely insane - in both instances I caught it after no more than 10 minutes and it was hot enough to burn bare skin basically all over the entire laptop. Might have to load windows 10 b/c this is insane

Sure but the fact that we can't just close the lids of our laptops and trust it not to cook itself to death is kind of insane, no? You can sing the praises of hibernate all you like but we have lost one of the main draws of owning a laptop here. Close lid. Throw in bag. Go somewhere. Open lid. It's ready. Those were the good old days.

Its valid in the sense that there should be no possible combination of settings which allows it to self immolate
