16 Premium DA16250, crashing
Brand new dell 16 premium with 285H i9, geforce 5060 gpu, r580 driver, 32gb ram, using for school and solidworks and it will run very slow and lag a lot on solidworks, then ultimately crash within 10 minutes. Tried to repair solidworks, no improvement. Tried to run solidworks rx, everything comes back with green checks. Tried running in openGL mode and still same issues. Selected NVIDIA gpu as preferred gpu and still same issues. Downloaded solidworks patch to support unnofficial drivers and still same issue. I am in engineering school and running these types of programs are vital. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

That notebook is on the low end for Solidworks -- it's never going to be a spectacular performer with those specifications. Solidworks provides options to reduce the intensity of the video and computational requirements -- you will need to do that to get the package to run on this system, and you may still run into thermal issues with it.
The recommendation of Solidworks is for a Precision mobile or desktop workstation -- you may be able to run it on a more consumer-grade notebook such as the one you've purchased, but with performance sacrifices.

@ejn63
tried lowering display and computational requirements but i am talking about single parts and even simple sketches causing program to crash. Plenty of other people have laptops with less processing/ram and have no issues at all
