my Laptop freezes and fans speed up to the point that I need to force shut down
So my ASUS TUF fx505dy randomly freezes and fans speed up. This happens when working or idle no matter.

Is there any logging app that can help me find culprit ?

All my software is updated!

Most likely a hardware issue, devices freezing + fans run at 100% usually means the machine crashed. Possibly a motherboard, CPU, GPU or chipset issue.

Thing is it started happening after I did a clean installation of windows....I did it 2 more times after thinking it might be an issue.
So it ran perfectly for about a year than after first clean reinstall this started to happen

windows update and others from OEM yes.

It is pure AMD laptop so I used their adrenalin software

windows takes a guess at hardware and grabs a driver that 'works' good enough to get the correct driver, but never grabs a correct one

Make sure that your laptop meets min system requirement for whatever game you're playing. You may have to upgrade your hardware [i.e buy a new laptop]. I play csgo on an old laptop and new levels are choppy even after tweaking video settings to low rendering et m...

I did not play any game in two weeks and this started to happen this week on work that can be done on a toaster

If you used Asus own Windows backup, which you created with their program. There's a chance that it left behind GPU drivers, which should've been removed with updates. However, it's possible that something was left behind (wouldn't be first time). If that was the case I'd use DDU and reinstall GPU drivers just to be sure.

Other than that sounds like you have driver/software issue because laptop worked before reinstalling. Unless you're really unlucky.

issue solved it self after automatic update ....so I guess I just got unlucky with some past update
