My ASUS TUF Laptop Freezes, Crashes, and Restarts

I bought an ASUS TUF laptop on September 22, 2023. It has an RTX 4050 graphics card, an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, a 144Hz screen, and 8GB of RAM. I'm an engineering student and I rely a lot on programs like Solidworks and AutoCAD. I ended up spending around ₺33,000 on them, paying in monthly installments over a year. Since the beginning, I've been dealing with CPU spikes that shoot up to 100%. This causes my computer to freeze, crash, and even restart on its own. I tried reaching out to ASUS support multiple times, but their solutions were not helpful. All they suggested was resetting the laptop, which didn't solve the problem.

I had to restart the laptop about 11-12 times today. Each time, I ran into different problems, whether it was with Win11 or the graphics card not being recognized. I was really frustrated on October 28, 2023, because I had to send my laptop to the ASUS Technical Service. This happened while I was juggling work and studies. I didn't have a computer for 15-20 days, so I ended up falling behind in my schoolwork and job.

When I got the laptop on November 11, 2023, I found some scratches that the technical service said were there. It didn't make sense because the laptop was basically new. I was really surprised when I opened the box and saw that the laptop wasn't packaged properly. It was moving around inside, and the keyboard had stains and fingerprints that looked like coffee spills. Also, the charger that I took great care of for the past month came back all dusty and scratched up. To make matters worse, the laptop got reset and now it has Win11 installed.

I opened the computer thinking that if I clean all of these without saying anything, the problem would be solved and I would clean them nicely. However, I saw that the same problem persisted. I called Asus Support again, mentioning these issues and stating that I did not want to send it in for warranty as a student and a citizen in a difficult situation. They asked me to send photos of the error via email. I mentioned that I had followed the same procedure before but did not get any results. Later, hoping to get a result this time, I sent an email explaining the error details and my situation. For the past 1.5 weeks, they have been responding to my emails every two days, while I reply immediately. However, in their latest email, they again mentioned a user program error, stating that the computer would shut down if the CPU temperature exceeds 95 degrees and would refresh. I repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly indicated with photos, videos, and writings that the problem was not overheating, but that the CPU reaches 100% even when the computer is idle or running simple programs, causing freezes and lags. The strange thing is that the CPU heats up on its own even when no proper programs are open. Even when I use it as a basic work computer in performance mode while charging or not charging, it gives errors in programs like Office Word. My previous laptop was a 10-year-old computer, and I never encountered such a problem. While continuing to improve myself in my field, I used the same programs on it without any issues. But why do I still experience problems with a better computer, even when I don't use those programs or even with a normal internet browser, without pushing the computer hard? I cannot find a solution to this problem. Why is Asus technical support leaving me in a difficult situation? I bought the Asus brand with trust and love. But now I see that they do not care about customer satisfaction. At this point, I don't know what else can be done. But I am writing and sending this to ensure that other citizens do not suffer like me because Asus officials remain silent and do not find a solution to my problem. NOTE: I have documents, photos, and videos related to the error.
