I observed my laptop occasionally emitting a brief popping noise, around once or twice daily, regardless of activity. The device is new, approximately one year old, and I regularly clean dust from its bottom and nearby space. There are no performance problems, though I've experienced rare system crashes that quickly resolved themselves. Could this be typical for certain laptop models? What could cause such a sound?

Hope this resolves your issue...
I finally figured it out, it was quite tricky. You need to unlock the bioslocks related to voltage control. First, copy your bios, locate the bioslock and the hex key to change it. Then boot into EFI via Grub and run two command lines to unlock it. After that, download throttlestop and undervolt. This was concerning because I was using an open case and experienced blue screens frequently. When I checked the CPU heatsink temperature, it reached around 107°F, which triggered the issue at least eight times daily. After following this guide and watching the video, it worked for two days without any blue screens. The fan didn’t overheat, and I was able to reinstall the case.

This approach doesn’t need flashing since Grubx64.efi modifies the bios directly.

And this one too—it might help, though it’s for a Dell system. It shouldn’t matter, it should work.
