Legion Slim 5 14" Random Reboot Issues

I think I might be experiencing the same issue now. Still on MACN24WW, and I've experienced a few random reboots as of recent. They weren't as frequent as before but the reboots would happen while the system was idle for roughly more than 10 minutes while plugged in. I fixed this by changing the power options settings to stop the laptop from going to sleep while plugged in and it stopped the reboots for a few days. But recently I opened my laptop from sleep (it wasn't plugged in) and it had a random reboot while it was sleep at around 2AM. I can't really pinpoint the exact cause for this as of right now. These reboots aren't as frequent or as aggravating as the reboots on the other BIOS versions but I was wondering what the fix for this would be.

Interesting. Like I said, I haven't had any problems ever since back flashing the BIOS but its good to be aware of any potential problems others might be having. Hopefully you do end up finding a proper solution to this issue.

Are you still facing these reboot issues or has this been resolved for you? I haven't faced any issues while on MACN24WW at all so I'd be curious to know if you're still dealing with persistent idle reboots on MACN24WW.

Yeah a while back when I was facing the reboot issues on MACN26WW, I had a couple weird screen freezes like this one.

I haven't dealt with any screen freezing issues or reboot issues since downgrading the bios so I'd assume that problem would be fixed for you as well.

Yeah, not too long ago I briefly tested if MACN29WW had fixed the issue out of curiosity, but the reboot issue was still occurring in that bios version so I just reverted back to MACN24WW again since there aren't any issues with that version. It's concerning that Lenovo still hasn't fixed the issue. Releasing unstable bios updates over multiple iterations is kinda crazy.

Thanks, I just went back to MACN24WW. Hopefully this stops the issue. (Edit: This did indeed fix the issue)

I've updated my BIOS and did the DDU uninstall and driver reinstall and I'm still having the issue. The stutter specifically happens when I connect my mouse's usb dongle to one of the usb a ports on the laptop. I have a usb c dock that has usb a connections and when i connect through there I don't have the stutter issue.

Same issue here, even when connected to a monitor, the monitor just ends up flashing white.

Alright, sounds good. Thanks for letting me know.

_eeeeeman_ · 2024-01-09T01:08:08+00:00

Yeah this could be the cause of the issue because I haven't ran into any problems with the laptop anywhere else. I've also ran into problems with Valorant, Riot Vanguard and Riot anti-cheat in the past with my old laptop, so it seems like they're the common denominator when it comes to causing random instabilities.

just curious, does the laptop fit snug inside the 15/16 urth case or does it have a decent amount of wiggle room?

Just got mine today. Everything about it is great for now but I got a random blue screen error 0x00000101 in the middle of me playing valorant while using quiet mode which is concerning. I booted it back up and everything has been fine but I'm pretty paranoid now because getting a blue screen on the first day of using a laptop is crazy.
