Recoil 17 Laptop System - Crashes On Idle

Morning All,

Has anyone experienced issues with their laptop crashing when left idle?

For the last month or so I've been having problems with the system completely shutting down/crashing when left idle. There appears to be no issue when the system is in use.

If I leave the laptop on overnight and I come back the following morning to find it has completely powered off and none of previous session exists so it can't be hibernating. I made sure that the system is not set to sleep or shutdown at any time.

If I check the system log, each time I see Event 6008:
Code:
The previous system shutdown at 03:21:47 on ‎23/‎05/‎2022 was unexpected.
The previous system shutdown at 11:16:02 on ‎22/‎05/‎2022 was unexpected.
The previous system shutdown at 19:36:19 on ‎21/‎05/‎2022 was unexpected.
The previous system shutdown at 04:06:55 on ‎21/‎05/‎2022 was unexpected.
The previous system shutdown at 20:05:40 on ‎06/‎04/‎2022 was unexpected.

The last message logged prior to the shutdown commonly appears to be Event 17:
Code:
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Component: PCI Express Root Port
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)

Primary Bus: Device:Function: 0x0:0x1:0x0
Secondary Bus: Device:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
Primary Device Name: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4C01&SUBSYS_77151558&REV_01
Secondary Device Name:

I've not been able to open the dump file, most likely due to the error below:
Code:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x00000113 (0x0000000000000019, 0x0000000000000001, 0x00000000000010de, 0x00000000000024dc). A dump was saved in: C:\windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
Unable to produce a minidump file from the full dump file.

This article seems to tie in with the "corrected hardware error" as the PCI Express port is where the GPU is connected:

For a while I was thinking it was VMWare Workstation causing the crash but the last two times I've been to not have it or any VMs running. The last time I simply left the Windows Alarm and Clocks app running a stopwatch, this also had stopped when I powered the system back up.

Hopefully it's not related but about a month after I got the laptop it had to be RMA'd due to a GPU fault than the graphics card was related. This currently looks to be a bit too suspicious.

I'm considering a windows reinstall but if anyone else has any hints it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Lee

Hey, hello, i have a 17" recoil (but with a i7 and only 32gb of ram) and i never had any crash,
I'm clearly not the most knowledgeable about crash, but, first thing first, did you do a clean install of windows when you receive your laptop ?

Nope, usually it's something I do as you can't trust pre-builds (despite how much testing the vendor says they do) and. That being said software wise it has been running fine, just a dodgy GPU required an RMA.

Would like to try and get to root cause if anyone has any further steps I can try before I wipe, in case it happens again.

Given the drivers available from PCS are now over a year old, I'm guessing that perhaps there's a conflict with one of the more recently windows updates. I was able to leave the laptop idle for over 6 hours in safe mode without a crash/reboot so fingers crossed that eliminates any hardware issue.
