Question How to diagnose if problems are caused by a CPU issue?

[Night_Strixx]

I've Googled the issues, and I can't be for certain. Sometimes my laptop will 'lock' when I'm doing something and power down. Sometimes it doesn't play my videos I'm watching, I'll hear sound but the video wont play. Sometimes the audio won't sync up with what the person in the video is saying, like their lips will move but the audio will be a second or less behind. Other times my games or streams I'm watching the video will 'stutter' Sometimes when I'm using my touchpad the cursor won't 'freeze' on screen, but damn near close. It becomes almost unresponsive it moves so slow, and then it usually becomes FAR too responsive for a few seconds.

Is there a method I can use to diagnose what the issue is?

Are you overclocking the RAM (XMP), the GPU or the CPU? If so try setting the machine back to normal speed.

you can run this and check CPU - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/15951/19792/intel-processor-diagnostic-tool.html?

try running Crystaldiskinfo on ssd (blue icons) - https://crystalmark.info/en/ - it will auto scan drive.

i don't think many laptops let you overclock them?
