Im not sure why im experiencing this but i have a 2019 brand new 8 core with 32 gig ram and vega 20 and when i connect via display port-usb-c cable the system heats up and is very very slow when connected to a monitor. The monitor is an ultrawide 34" 21/9. cpu is 80-90 percent and in the red. System is very very slow and fans are going crazy.
Once i open the lid and reconnect the monitor things cool off and go back down to under 5% cpu and fans are basically silent.
Why is closing my lid having these kind of issues? The temperature closed is much higher too.
