Client freezes and goes into red power usage within 2 minutes of loading a character

[Midoo]

16 GB RAM
Nvidia 1650 GTX Super Gaming with updated drivers
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad-Core (3.1 GHz)
Latest Windows 10 patched

Not using WINEQ or any sort of client modification program, just the raw client in administrator mode and 1600x900 in windowed mode stretched using Borderless Gaming. I'm not using compatibility mode because I know for a FACT it drops my framerate to 20 FPS which is nauseating

It's nothing that does it in specific. The game will randomly freeze up and the client will go opaque and stop responding forever until I kill the process. It could be that I switched the power plan from AMD's trademarked thingy to Balanced (because I was suspecting it was fucking up my GPU) but I doubt it. I'm almost certain it's not an ingame thing because it does it whether I'm in EC tunnel or in a dead empty zone like Grobb on a weekday morning

It did this yesterday and the day after it, but it would usually do it after an hour or two of play so I ignored it. Today it's choking to death within 1 - 2 minutes of loading a character ingame. When I check it in task manager it says power usage is "very high" which for a game from 1999 I doubt should be normal

Can anyone who knows how the client works please help me? I can't even play the game anymore
