FPS drops by ***90***% for brief moments

In that case, when you reinstall, choose a custom install and delete all partitions on the drive. Then select (highlight) the unallocated space that results and click the Next button, the installer will create the appropriate partitions and install Windows.

One it's installed and you've run through the initial setup, run Windows Update repeatedly (and after reboots if you're asked to reboot) until no more updates are available. This will install all necessary update.

You should check with the Nvidia website for an updated driver for your graphics card afterwards.

And, as SpyderTracks says, don't install any other software until you're certain that everything is working properly.

None of this has any relevance to troubleshooting. DONT install either the plugins or the AV for troubleshooting, it needs to be clean installation and then just your games, no addons no nothing or it makes troubleshooting redundant.

okay i wont add it. i'll also remove bitdefender.

just to make sure, the plan is to back everything up, then re-install windows from scratch, then do nothing exept games and see if the problem persists?

Install windows, let windows update install all drivers and updates, install nvidia drivers from nvidia and clevo control center from clevo as normal.

Then just the game you wanna test.

just an update, i'm backing up what i can via my phone to my other laptop and , its not chrome thats the problem. even on MS Edge, and mozilla, 1080p60fps videos stutter and have motion blur. hell, scrolling down this page caused stuttering, games are unplayable. neither RTSS+MSI afterburner work, and even NVIDIA's GeForce experience FPS counter wont show. but it is a disgusting experience, and the fans dont turn on when the game starts.
the laptop is significantly worse today than it was yesterday. like, if a healthy experience was 100, last tuesday an 80, yday a 60, today is a 5-10.
my other laptop, a 2016 HP with an i3 5005u and 4gb of ram and a broken HDD (it says imminent hard drive failure every time for the past 11 months upon boot after i fell with the laptop in hand in high school) is faster and smoother than this.. yikes.
i'll re-install as you said but on Monday should I call PCS and ask them what is going on, why the laptop gets slower as the days pass?

edit: i can't even watch 720p lecture videos in peace!

Until you do a reinstall it's impossible to know anything.

okay. its a pain in the butt as i have no means of backup, other than using 6gb of free space per round in my phone.
if i uninstall my games, will i lose all my progress? they add up to like 350gb of space on their own

What do you need to back up?

 

[Deleted member 94250]

What do you need to back up?

homework, lectures, past assignments, bits and bobs of stuff for my societies. ANSYS, AutoCAD copies etc. i dont know if my student license is transferable across more than one computer.

Don’t you have a data drive?

Edit, you do have multiple drives, don’t you?

i have two, 2, drives. one per laptop.
i dont have any screwdrivers so a switch is not possible, what in God's green earth is a data drive?

also, since i've still gotta do homework on this slow-a*s thing, i figured id see what gaming is like now:-

fans are dead quiet and cpu wont push any powerand i'm getting what looks like 5 fps. this has happened on a few occasions mid-game and went away by itself, (i'm plugged in rn) but now it's become the norm.

On the order page you posted it listed 2 drives. Data drive is the secondary drive that doesn’t have the OS on.

Performance isn’t going to miraculously improve without doing troubleshooting steps.

so, i just called PCS. they suggested a re-install of windows, and if that doesnt work I should do another RMA

Yes, until you do a reinstall you don't know what the issue is, and until you know what the issue is, it's impossible to advise PCS. Remember, if it's just a software issue, that's nothing to do with PCS, that's your responsibility.

A further update, all of yesterday's problems disappeared...
the cpu used full power just now and the fans turned up. this problem is transient.

could you give me a suggestion on how to record the screen when the laptop is going so slowly? literally 9 hours after it being slower than my i3 5005u and its 4gb ram its back to full speed right now, if it was RMA'd today i owuld look like i'm lying to PCS despite the problem being there?

a phone recoreding is not an option my camera is crappy as frick

You could use nvidia shadowplay.

When it goes slow again and you're recording it, have taskmanager open sorted by CPU and also have hwmonitor open showing temps and performance tab.

okay.
thank you.

i also meant outside games. when using windows start, chrome, edge, word, the unresponsiveness has to be seen to be understood.
