"gaming laptop" is a marketing oxymoron
If you are comfortable working on electronics then I would suggest you consider opening your laptop, blowing out any dust, repasting the CPU and GPU with Honeywell PTM7950, and propping up the rear of the laptop when you game if you aren't already doing that.
Since you instead fell for the gaming laptop meme, you can't really do anything and this game is just not for you.
I am playing the game on a cheap laptop without any issues ever. Laptop is not a problem.
I could have been VRMs/RAM/etc.
Unless you modified or the laptop was old and filled with dust, this is 100% a defect of the laptop. I would reach out to the manufacturer even if it is outside of warranty.
Games by themselves cannot destroy your hardware. Defective components or overheating can destroy hardware. CPUs are designed to run at 100% 24/7 for years even while throttling.
All that said if it's a 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU, those were defective and you definitely should get a replacement/refund.
If a system shuts down completely then its not properly build or configured to handle its own max load. In that case maintenance is in order and maybe some benchmark stress-tests to find the weakspot of the design. If it happens here, then also in other apps and game wirh equal system-load.
