I'm running a Legion 5 with an NVIDIA 2060 RTX and I've been experiencing some GPU issues. I'm almost certain it's related to driver bugs, but I decided to take a look inside my laptop while I troubleshoot. Since the GPU is soldered to the motherboard, I'm unable to remove it without causing damage. Is there any way to evaluate the physical condition of the GPU? I'm mainly wondering if I can see any signs of wear or damage just by looking at it, even though I know software tools might not work well due to OS issues. Would I be able to tell if the GPU is 'cooked' just by checking it out visually?

Have you thought about doing a clean install of Windows? I've found that sometimes going back to Win10 can iron out bugs caused by Win11, which can be a bit of a mess.
I'm actually in the middle of a clean install right now. I messed up trying to use the built-in restore function in Win11, and it crashed! So I'm kinda stuck until I can get a USB boot from someone. In the meantime, I'm just cleaning up!
