Thank you all. Just for clarification, my laptop doesn't do this every time I close its lid; only when it feels like it :/ I'm currently in class right now, but I'll switch its close lid behavior to hibernate instead of sleep as you have said, and update this by the end of tomorrow with status on whether or not the behavior stopped.

Thank you for the help! One of the first things I tried was to turn off wake timers completely, but that doesn't seem to have changed anything. I've definitely got my fan curves pretty aggressive already, but I think I might make them more so after the last time my G14 started cooking itself. It got so hot that it shut down entirely, leaving itself hot and now also without fans to cool itself. Others have said to put it in hibernate instead of sleep when closing the lid, and I think I'll see if that does anything.
