I also don’t understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.

    How does that happen? Shouldn’t the GPU and CPU have thermal throttling so even under intense loads it just slows down to keep temps down?

    When I play games on my laptop the integrated graphics are at 100% most of the time but it doesn’t cause the system to crash.

      So the system is a gaming laptop which might explain things. The CPU has liquid metal for cooling and a lower TDP so it’s fine. Whereas the GPU has a higher TGP and if ran hard draws like 120W. If the GPU fans are not already on this quickly overwhelming the GPU thermally.
