Hello, I have a Razer Blade 15” Advance (mid-2021) w/RTX 3080. The system stutters and drops frames to single digits for a 1ish second duration every 4 seconds when I play games. It will also sometimes happen when entering data into Excel. This has been going on for over a year and I’ve tried but failed to resolve. Here are the troubleshooting steps I’ve tried:
-Reduce game graphics settings to absolute lowest
-Replace battery (with Razer OEM)
-Update BIOS
-Update all hardware drivers
-Update to latest version of Win 10
-Upgrade to Win10 Pro
-Complete SSD secure erase and clean Win10 install
-Replace SSD (Samsung 990 Pro)
-Replace both RAM sodimms (Kingston, 64gb)
-Disable Intel graphics drivers
-Full erase and clean install of latest Nvidia drivers (JUST drivers, no USB-C or Experience App)
-Enable Maximum Power/Performance in Battery settings
-Disable Windows Defender antivirus
-Disable all cloud syncing and non-critical background processes
Nothing resolves the issue. I have seen posts here and all over Reddit about uninstalling or disabling the Intel UHD driver. This has no effect and only causes the GPU to run 100% of the time. A reddit user has had the issue persist across 3 Razer OEM motherboard swaps.
Razer: How can I resolve this? If it can’t be resolved, what are you going to do to make this right?
