I believe I have the same one! For me, almost out of the box I needed to disable CPU boost due to the thermals and instability. That worked for a while, though I considered replacing it and didn’t because there was just no others available at the time due to the pandemic. Apparently my issue is common but not the majority - a lot of folks seem to just have gotten a bad batch. I’m curious though, have you not even had any issues with sleep mode on the laptop? It seems extremely common that it just doesn’t work/crashes.
I got a good 2.5 years out of it, but I was hoping to use it for at least 6 or 7.

Now that I think of it, I did disable sleep and just use hibernate instead. I no longer remember why - perhaps I too had some issues. Maybe I was just annoyed by Windows restarting in the middle of a night and (c)losing my open applications whenever it wishes to update? Or did I disable Wake Timers for that? Sorry, my memory is a bit fuzzy.
As it is, hibernate works perfectly for me, is fast enough, and it never closes my applications behind my back.
OTOH, I had sleep issues with pretty much all PCs that I ever had (be it laptop or desktop), so maybe it was just inertia to always use hibernation instead. :)
