Need help to identify problems with new laptop!

Here is the story: This is a brand new laptop (A Lenovo Legion 7i) with an intel 12800HX cpu and Nvidia RTX3070ti GPU.
The laptop has been having problems right out of its sealed box. But when using it, it's working fine and stable and I
have been playing many demanding games with it for hours without any problems or crashes. I have also used it for few
hours editing videos with adobe premiere without a single problem. Only strange thing I experience is some pops and clicks
when listening to music or watching videos while sound is perfect when playing games.

What I need, is to understand what kind of problem this laptop has and to make a decision on keeping it as it is, or sending
it for repair. Unfortunately as I live in France and as I ordered the laptop from UK I could not send it back to the vendor
for an exchange or refund. So I contacted Lenovo and they refused to exchange it. But as the laptop is under warranty for 3
years they are proposing that I send it to them for a repair. (Probably a motherboard change). The laptop cost 2800 euros
which is pretty expensive and it's kind of heart braking to have a brand new laptop opened up and repaired.


here are the errors and problems I am facing with this laptop:

On every restart the laptop is giving me few WHEA error 17:

A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Component: PCI Express Endpoint
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)

Primary Busevice:Function: 0x5:0x0:0x0
Secondary Busevice:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
Primary Device NameCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A80A&SUBSYS_A801144D&REV_00 <---This is Samsung NVMe Controller

I get 3 times this error on every boot but sometimes I get 20 to 30 times the same error when gaming.


I also get this error on every boot:

Also on VEN_10DE&DEV_228B Nvidia high def audio and on PCI Express


The other warnings are:

Also I get warnings on few CPU cores:
EX: The speed of processor 23 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report.

Do you guys think that it is possible to figure out what is exactly causing these errors and what the problem is?
What would you do in my place? Would you keep it as long as it works correctly or would you send it for repair?

But it's not working correctly is it? Send it for repair while you can.

You are not overclocking it, are you?

As I mentioned earlier the laptop is working pretty well and not giving any trouble.
And no, of course no overclocking.
I would really like to know is if there is anyway (any kind of test) to understand what exactly is wrong !

I have already done a memory test which seems to be OK:

it is working pretty well! Either live with it and trouble shoot as you go along but my advice would be if it's under warranty send it back as some minor niggles now will only get worse

Thanks a lot. The laptop has a 3 year premium warranty. Without this I would only sit and cry! So I know that for the next 3 years anytime I want I can ask for a repair.

Those are warnings, not actual errors right? And you have not seen any crashes.
The system is also reporting the majority as correctable errors.
Just hope for some driver updates, or a BIOS update.

It's your call and it's your machine.
