It's been a little while now after flashing my BIOS so I wanted to give and update that all seems good with my laptop :)
Not sure the cause of the weirdness but flashing the BIOS definitely seems like the effective treatment! Thanks everyone!
Wow interesting!
My RMA has started but I haven't yet sent the laptop off. I have emailed support to see if they will send me files to flash the BIOS!
Thanks so much for posting!
I see that makes sense! ... so actually I don't want a new issue, I would rather have a really old issue that everyone knows how to solve. Can I have that instead please?
RMA has been requested but I wanted to post an other update: Results from GPUz and CPUz
Although I am starting to get a bit out of my element there seems to be something very wrong with the GPU currently set clock speeds. How does this happen and is there a way to correct it (if it isn't a...
FIXED IT! :D
So basically I ran Heaven benchmark with the ATI integrated card to see if there was a difference and I was getting better performance (it wasn't good but that's to be expected) so I was thinking this maybe helps it narrow it down to something weird with the nvidia card.

There weren't other other options. Was I looking in the wrong place?
Ok this is weird, Hades starts and plays perfectly. I know its not that intensive but it also starts my fan going as normal. God of war still the same, Heaven Benchmark still the same.
Just wanted to add another update: I used to have under the power options the AMD Ryzen High Performance. Now I only have "Balanced". Not sure how to get the power option back.
Hmmm, I haven't serviced it as I have had it less than year (around 9 months). It did go back to PCS a couple of months ago because the power port wasn't functioning but besides that I haven't done much. What would you suggest?
I am just looking at HWMonitor again but it is no longer shown (I...
Agh! Will contact tech support then 😭. Second time sending it back while needing it for work. This is no fun!
Thanks for helping though, it's appreciated!
Changed the NVIDIA setting (image to confirm).
No difference :(
Note that it does say its using my nvidia gpu not the integrated one, assuming it can be trusted.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled control center but no difference.
Next I will try and just uninstall the control center and...
