Yes, I have a Dell G15 Intel i5 with Rtx3050, and just doing normal browsing on basic computer tasks I occasionally get brief screen jitter or pixelation going to black screen. Yes definitely think it’s a driver issue, not hardware. Gaming I never have one issue with any sort of graphical anomaly. Just got a firmware update the other day too. Could be Dell trying to resolve some issues? I like the laptop, but am skeptical about how long a gaming laptop will hold up under such heat issues when gaming. I have seen typically around 90c at times fans sound like they are running at max. Could this affect hardware in 2D basic computing with Intel graphics? Yes of course all these chips are exposed to the heat.

I brought it last week, it happens to be a problem for me currently. The experience of 1st day I used it, is the laptop will easily get heaty.
The screen started to flicker, blackout, and hang after one week used. I use it to play the normal steam game and watch 4K / 1080P movies.
I contacted my seller, currently troubleshooting it.
I brought it for 5800 MYR upgraded to a 3-year premium dell support warranty.
At the very moment, I think this gonna be a long-term issue. Lastly, if you are looking at this and thinking if you should buy the product, please consider all these issues that could possibly impact your user experience, and be prepared.

Use Alienware Command Center to set custom curves. You should never be using default curves even on a desktop GPU. For the past 6 (or so) years, they always seem to favor acoustics. It’s got some beefy fans if you crank them up.

I have the same laptop, I will recommend you install Allien Command Center to better control the fans, Dell Update Software, and Dell Power Manager, it will help.
What I don't like about this machine is that the back cover is very thin, if you try to pick up the laptop and touch the RAM by mistake it freezes which sometimes makes it difficult to move the laptop from one place to another.

Can I charge this laptop using usb C port?

No, it doesn't support charging via USB, it needs a power of 180/240w. USB c max power support is 130w (that too exclusive bro Dell XPS others only 100w).
They should have included it for normal usage and for portability(other than gaming).

I got the delivery of my Dell G15 5511 in October 2021. On Jan 15, I got a black screen; laptop won't start; I unplugged all cables from the laptop and wall. Called Dell Tech Support on Jan. 18, service request 1082072398 was logged. Today, Feb 9, I'm still waiting to hear from anyone from Dell as to when a technician will come to fix it.

I had the same issue a week after I bought it and I asked them for a replacement but, it was very shortly after. An alternative could be opening the back of the laptop and disconnecting/connecting the battery again.
