Here's a shot of the processes as it's starting to get bad. Nord Threat Protection is a big drain- I have this off all of the time now (and still get the problem). I switched it on here just as a guaranteed way of triggering the problem. In terms of VPN: I tried using Express VPN initially (this...

Have been watching the clock speed and it jumps around a lot- CPU-Z quite often shows it jumping up above 2 GHz and sometimes over 3 but not necessarily when the problem is happening. When it's glitching badly, the clock speed is usually hovering around 1990MHz (but sometimes shaws as...

Thanks for this. I've downloaded Core Temp. Switching it on when the computer is struggling, it's shwoing minimum core temp 60 and max temp 73. So I should look in to bringing this down?

So is the problem here simply that my CPU is damaged, but device manager and BIOS aren't recognising the fact?

Hiya RAM usage shown below, and CPU again. I noticed a spike in the SSD also, so included that, but honestly: the glitching always seems to be when the CPU is peaking. AMD system monitor shows CPU consistantly at 100% when the problem happens (task manager doesn't show it so high) View...

Okay: so it's degraded again... it's like every time I do anything to improve things (increasing virtual memory, then increasing physical RAM), it improves and then something is moving in and taking up all of the extra capacity until things become unusable again! I have no idea what's going on.

The virtual memory improvement didn't last long (seemed to improve things for a short time, but then got worse again- maybe I just imagined the improvement?!) I've now put in an extra 16GB of RAM and it definitely is better, but problem is still happening. I'm honestly not doing anything that...

Hi all- thanks for help with this- I've turned my virtual memory right up now and things are running a lot more smoothly

Managed to grab a few screenshots when things were starting to glitch. This one from AMD System Monitor shows an earlier freeze- where all cores hit 100%. At the point at which the screenshot was taken, things were starting to get quite glitchy- View: https://flic.kr/p/2oj2MUd These from Task...

SSD has 34 GB spare of 118

Hi there, I've started having major lag issue with my laptop (HP 15 db0xxx, Ryzen 5 2500U w/Radeon Vega 8) I've been noticing a bit of lag and audio break up on my laptop from time to time but it's been totally usable. All got much worse recently when I installed a VPN. With the VPN on, the...
