OMEN 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-b0000 (2W6B5AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hi all,

I am currently unable to switch to the NVIDIA RTX 3070 Laptop GPU, neither manually or by auto-select options. Whenever I try to switch to NVIDIA GPU, the screen freezes and most of the time it blacks out completely. Some times I hear beeps, and it automatically reverts back to the Intel GPU after 3-4 min which works normally.

I have tried the 526.98 and 527.56 NVIDIA driver versions but both yield the same.

First time it occurred while playing video games (CSGO) and I unable to use the NVIDIA GPU since then.

I suspect it to be an overheating problem and did some UEFI hardware tests:
