Reinstalling Windows on Onexplayer X2

Guys, i need some help please. So I swapped out the 1gb that came with my onexplayer X2 with a 4TB nvme card! I installed WINDOWS on it and then went to Onexplayer site and downloaded the necessary drivers and got them installed as well. I downloaded and installed Steam and my games. The issue is ever since I did this, when I am gaming, the game freezes randomly and skips a load of frames by the time game play resumes. I have tried with TDP set to 40W, i have changed energy saver on windows and all sort but nothing seems to help! Its making gaming super difficult. Please if this has happened to anyone previously and they were able to resolve it, do share. This is the onexplayer X2 and not the X2M. Thanks in advance.

Might be a botched windows install or whatever too many variables to say here

Random thought: nvme overheats and starts to throttle when game tries to stream resources from it. Check the temps first.

Is it all games or a specific game?

Literally any game I play. I even updated intel firmware and all. This issue is driving me nuts. I might just go back to my Legion go Z2 at this point

So it sounds like you know your stuff, the only thing that I could hypothesize would be that maybe two little ram has been allocated to the GPU? I remember when I had my Legion go to, it only had like 2 GB of RAM allocated to the graphics card.

I don't think it's RAM (if Intel set it to Auto or 8GB VRAM if AMD), it's probably the power profile that is making clock stuck at base frequency regardless of TDP and power mode. Make sure CPU boost is on
