Model: Legion Slim 5 16APH8
Describe the issue: Whenever laptop goes to idle mode (screen turns black), it doesn't respond in any way back and also fans are starting to spin in a very weird way (like spinning for 0,5 sec, then 0,5 sec pause and again spinning for 0,5 sec - fans are trying to spin again but they can't, smth like that). The only thing that helps is fully shutting down the laptop by pressing power button (20sec) for a long time and starting the laptop again.
What have you tried already?: Nothing at the moment
When did it start producing the issue: Today
Did you install new drivers or software?: Couple days ago installed new windows update
