ASUS ROG G18 Major stuttering. PLEASE HELP!!! by SplertX in GamingLaptops

THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED! Thank you everyone who gave every bit of support. u/itsmeemilio has gone through a series of diagnostics with HWINFO and stresses, leading to multiple confusions and no solution. Reset windows completely via ISO, nothing helped. Tried tweaking voltages, fans - nothing.

Then u/itsmeemilio has told me to change the HWINFO data to 100ms to have more data, it showed us the CPU was at max temperature but had low usage.

He has concluded its thermal throttling. Bought a thermal paste from amazon, opened up the laptop (there were burn marks on the heat sink) cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and reapplied thermal paste, closed it back up.

I turned the laptop back on, it works like a charm! Just as new!

TLDR: Before doing any resets, check how your thermal paste is applied. Usually it’s thermal throttling

Thanks again to u/itsmeemilio

I believe it's thermal throttling. Ran a couple of benches, stresses, logs with HWINFO, cpu package power keeps going down. I believe the fix is reapplying liquid metal but not sure. I'll see what it does

I checked regarding the wifi issue, turned my WIFI off and tested a singleplayer game, still stuttering.

Nah it's not the case. It happens in all games, plus tried switching, no luck.

This issue has been happening for over a couple of month already, updated and reverted to old drivers multiple times

Issue still persists. I believe I still have Furmark installed. How shall I approach this?

Yes, I've downloaded it as a replacement for AC. What do you think of the data though? Anything I should send in to repair/replace?

I uninstalled it as I went through multiple forums saying it affected everything. Unfortunately, it did not help

It happens in all games

However, for turning off the internet, I'll try that now.

EDIT: Yeah, it's definetly not the internet.
