Stuttering and slowdowns in all games (Blade Pro 17 2019)

So yeah, recently parted with £2,399 of my hard earned cash and was extremely happy with my purchase for the first couple of days.



The model I purchased was the RTX 2060 version.



Fast forward to now, and I have major issues in games where they simply don't run at a consistent performance level. I will eventually, or immediately, experience drastic slowdowns. Any game I play will stutter and lag at some point, it pauses for about 2 to 5 seconds and lasts about 20 seconds. Not what I expect from such an expensive piece of kit.



Here's what I've tried so far:



  • Using DDU to perform a clean install of nVidia drivers via Windows 10 Safe Mode

  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the most up to date Intel Graphics 630 drivers

  • Set my performance preference in nVidia control panel to "Prefer maximum performance"

  • Explicitly set Preferred Graphics Processor to my RTX 2060 via the control panel as well

  • Tried the games on both drives that I have (I installed another m.2 drive successfully) and found that the issue is not related to SSD's

  • Disabled Xbox DVR





Notes:



I am currently utilising the ThrottleStop application to fine-tune my CPU performance. I have not changed any of the voltage settings as my temps are actually fine in games (68 - 84c).



I want to know anything else I can try as I really want to avoid having to return this laptop. If I do have to return it, do Razer have any licensed repair shops I can physically take the laptop to myself? I just feel uncomfortable shipping something so expensive.
*bump*

Any ideas guys? I've disabled Razer Synapse which seems to alleviate some of the issues I'm experiencing but it still happens occasionally
