So for a few months now I have owned the MSI GP73 Leopard 8RE. It was fantastic at first, but when I started playing DayZ things started going downhill. At first it started with my game locking up and playing catch-up (always resulting in me crashing into a wall or other hard object). After a few days I thought I would start running task manager on my other monitor to so I could watch my system performance. At first I watched my CPU not yet knowing the issue, but as before the game locked up and I hit another wall. However, I caught a glimpse of the GPU performance and noticed that was the problem. Unable to fix it myself, and honestly forgetting about this forum, I gave up on DayZ.

 

After giving up on DayZ, I got into Project Cars 2 online. Not for very long though because the problem followed me, so at the start of every race, the game lagged like DayZ had. Giving up on the online, I got into just racing tracks to drive cars and go fast offline because I thought it was something to do with internet lag. That was proven false by the same problem still happening, mind you less frequently, but still happening enough for it to be a problem.

 

So just like DayZ before it, I gave up on Project Cars 2 and the problem had disappeared until I started playing TerraFirmaCraft Reloaded for Minecraft. The problem has followed me into that now and I am honestly at my wits end with this laptop for all the problems it has had.

 

Before I say the kicker of this story, I would like to add to my problem that games that require CPU and GPU syncing for syncing multiple players together in a game (TOTAL WAR: Attila, HOI 4, EU 4) also do not run properly at all. I constaly fall out of sync with friends I try to play with if the speed the game up too fast, or if we have to see the same things on screen.

 

Now the kicker,

 

When the issue started happening on DayZ, I took it back to where I originally bought the computer (Canada Computers). After they did a diagnostic on the computer they said nothing was wrong with it; however, the problem still persisted afterwards.

 

Just today (10/22/2019), I ran some tests (recreating the conditions the lag happens under) while having task manager and NZXT Cam open and something odd is happening with the gpu. It randomly stops reading the temperature and jumps up to a high clock speed for the GTX 1060 6GB that is in the laptop, between 1050 and 1417 MHZ.

 

With all this I guess I am asking if there is anyone on here who has experience with this problem and/or would know how to fix it.
