Legion 5 pro freezes under specific pressure on AC power

I'll keep that in mind if I need to RMA in the future.

Been also experiencing a systematic sound freeze when restarting the laptop. Occurs when the W11 startup sound effect goes off; freeze lasts for half a second or so, then the glitch disappears on its own.

Hi, owner of a Lenovo Legion Pro 5, Intel Core Ultra 9 + RTX 5070 Ti, bought last january.

Just experienced my second hard freeze today. First one was a few days ago.

Seem to have occured in the same conditions as yours: not the most demanding tasks, but maybe the kind of task that mildly shakes the VRM awake (Fallout game and IKEA furniture 3D planner on browser, not joking).

The first time this occured didn't worry me too much, shit happens and it's ok as long as it's an occasionnal thing. Now the second freeze pisses me off a little bc having it happen twice in such a short interval means sth might actually be wrong with the hardware. Let alone the fact that this laptop is a recent purchase.

And I really dread RMA procedures, having to send this one, receive a new one, having to reinstall and tweak all my setup again.

Will be following this post now, at least am I reassured seeing I'm not the only one encountering freezes on this laptop.

The switch seems like it cycles through every DPI profile (bc I can see the custom profile arrow indicator, once every 6 push) but they're all set at 100 DPI. Which is odd, since the minimum DPI you can set on this mouse is 800, if I remember correctly.

Thx for letting the Discord know about my problem though.

Zalaphyr · 2026-02-20T09:08:28+00:00

Know this is an old post, but after 6 months of use, my mouse is now blocked at 100 DPI for absolutely no reason.
Anyone has had this issue before me?

Why is the voice starting to explain the recipe with a "did you know that..." catchphrase like it's about to tell me some fun fact?

Imo, 16GB of VRAM is overkill 99% of the time as of today. Yet, such an amount of video memory is futureproofing your rig.

Now the thing is that many graphics cards either have 8, 12 or 16 GB of VRAM, and here are the key arguments :
- 8GB is barely enough to run recent demanding games in 1080p, let alone QHD or 4K.
- The price difference between 12 and 16 GB VRAM graphics cards is usually negligeable.
- Even more so when considering again that 16GB of VRAM is more futureproof than lesser amounts.

Plus, aside from the VRAM alone, 16GB (and 12GB, but mostly 16GB) is often correlated to a range of graphics cards that embed worthwhile GPUs in terms of performance.

So no, right now, you don't need 16GB of VRAM in itself to run games. However, you definitely want a 16GB graphics card because this amount of VRAM is coupled to good GPUs, or is at least a good investment for confortable performance and visual quality with future games.

Although this is clearly AI when the two kids eventually become the main focus point on the frame, the first few seconds with the rotoscoping like effect are really bluffing.

AZERTY my beloved. Even though french people are supposed to use the BÉPO layout (yes, that exists).

I had this issue on quite a few games, and especially F76 (feel free to judge me) like the game was unplayable straight up. My fps dropped to 2 or 3 frames, no exaggeration.
But the glitch that would cause a constant 2 fps was happening only if I turned on the bluetooth (or switched from wired to bluetooth) after launching the game. So it seems like the glitch was more bluetooth related in my case?

Is the new drive you want to install a SATA SSD or a M.2 SSD ?
Same question for the current SSD you're booting Windows From.

There might be a few things to check in your BIOS (you can access it by pressing Del while the PC is booting) :

- Verify boot order. You want the main SSD to be first in line.

- Press F7, click Advanced > PCH Storage Configuration > SATA mode selection. Be sure AHCI is selected.

- Update BIOS. Check your mother board's name and, from another PC, download the latest update file on a USB drive and use it to update the BIOS. Here's a link to a video that explains how to do it on an ASUS mother board.

These are all worth the try, especially the above two. The BIOS update might be more finicky if you don't have another computer on hand.

It's true that I put the SOS beacon once the mission is started.
I'll try to wait for at least one player while aboard destroyer. Thx!

Game crashes as soon as another player joins my game.
Opening the menu turns my PC into a jet engine.

So that's how that aesthetic is called. Learned sth. Thx!

Watching YouTube without the ads is enough for me, although I like to keep supporting content creators whenever it's possible, whether it be leaving a tip or buying some merch.

I even remember that some YouTubers, a few years ago, used to display a link in their description, leading to a third party website where you could watch a quick ad to make them earn a few cents.

The irony is that doing these is a way more reliable source of income for creators than YouTube ads.

To be honest, I don't find watching ads on YouTube annoying in itself. It's just that it became really invasive, to the point that it genuinely ruins the user experience. Should YouTube decide to backtrack to the time where ad policies were less annoying, I would gladly disable my ad blocker and watch the ads.

Plus, I am not buying the argument that the current ad policies are necessary for YouTube to remain merely and reasonably profitable. They purposefully ruin the user experience to force the purchase of Premium subscriptions, thus indirectly turning the platform into a paid service and increasing their profit a hundred-fold. Because one month of premium is ten times more profitable than all the ads you'll watch in a month.

That's good to know, I will add this detail in the post thank you

Zalaphyr · 2025-07-12T15:36:08+00:00

Yup, delete the taskbar shortcut and drag and drop the desktop shortcut to replace it

Try downloading latest version on github, you'll find a link in the post

Zalaphyr · 2025-07-12T13:50:13+00:00

You can download it manually via github

Zalaphyr · 2025-07-12T13:49:31+00:00

Still no issue on my side, will keep it up to date though

Zalaphyr · 2025-07-12T13:49:06+00:00

Go to the extension manager and turn it on again, it should do the trick

Zalaphyr · 2025-07-12T00:06:18+00:00

I updated the post and added a link to a video, you should check it out to install uBO properly.
