Is there any issue with the ASUS laptop freezing due to chronic cold?
Yeah, no visible physical harm. PC is clean and fans are working properly. Thermal paste hasn't been re-applied before. I don't mind mobile problems. I've never experienced crashes or freezes while playing games (except the game closing, maybe a bug or compatibility issue), so it's unlikely the CPU is the issue. To confirm, what tests can I perform on the CPU?
Execute benchmarks such as Cinebench and PerformanceTest to evaluate system performance under load. These tests will assess the stability of your CPU. Download PassMark PerformanceTest - PC Benchmark Software to measure your PC's hardware speed and compare it with other machines. It covers disk, 3D, and CPU tests. www.passmark.com https://www.maxon.net/en/cinebench
Pass Mark's PerformanceTest executed without issues.
Cinebench operates on Windows, which wasn't installed, so I used stress-ng with specific settings—CPU 4, 2 vms, 50% VM bytes, 30-minute timeout—on live Linux Mint. It also completed successfully.
Superposition also performs well on Linux.
