Private Internet access keeping dropping out on my Plex pc.. anyone have any ideas to try?

I already tried switching to wire gaurd,in and out of the country.

I try my best to be a good guy and plant as much as possible.... but I can't do it when PIA keeps dropping over night and plex and the planting stops altogether until force restarted.

Sudo apt update and upgrade have been done.

Issue with display after restarting pc.

I have a dedicated plex server on my extra rig, it's running 22.04 codename "jammy".

At first I had a issue opening Firefox, still do, but now that the pc is rebooted, my 4k asus monitor shows all the icons very large, and my resolution set at 1024x768 (4:3)

Before all this happend the screen was very small due to being in 4k and I had to use the 300% scaling option to make everything larger, but it was proportionate to the screen, now everything is massive and it only gives me 100% and 125%.

I tried fractional scaling also, but didn't change anything, and Firefox also doesn't work still. Not sure what happened. Already tried to kill Firefox via terminal, and open it in safemode via terminal and I got no response.

FIXXED!.

ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in terminal, restarted and problem gone.

Just a FYI, I do run Nvidia 535 drivers for the 1080ti to give my gpu unlimited transcoding capabilities since this is a dedicated pc.

Timing set to 25⁰ in the videos shown, 5⁰ base timing

Little bit of a back story.

$1000 boat, drained the tank, fixed the anti drain valve, fuel pump rebuilt, carb rebuilt, electrical system looked over, new battery and the pertronix style pick up for the distributor. I also cleaned and used balistol on the mechanical advance which is buttery smooth, ignition coil is the proper ohm and new also.

Boat will crank and idle all day long, free rev like a small block with a light fly wheel with zero bog, it runs great!.

The issue is, online says these motors run 4300 rpm all day, im just hitting 3200 at WOT with 25⁰ total advance, online all states up to 30⁰ of total timing, if I attempt to set at 30⁰ I get mean back fires, bucking the starter with audible pre ignition that seems to be affected by the trim pump.

If I set to 25⁰ full advanced I only achieve 3200 rpm at wot, and I get ocationally the missing/stuttering sound,

I have a feeling it's somthing to do with the distributor, because if I free rev the boat I can get it above 4k rpm but the timing light is bouncing ALL over the place on the flywheel, like 20 to 30⁰ worth of movement.

My theory behind the break up at WOT being affected by the trim button is that since the motor is under a ton of load when I run the trim pump the parasitic draw made by the pump is adding that much more causing the stutter due to the alternator bogging down.

Does anybody have any old head knowledge? I'm more of a new school guy, but I have OKish knowledge.

BTW the timing light im using is a snap on with a full advance dial, when at or above 2500 rpm and the dial set to 25⁰ i get the timing mark on 0 on the fly wheel. Once I get above 3500 it starts going crazy and moving retarted and adavced and breaking up and getting choppy.

The link i included goes to my YouTube page with the shorts on it of the bost running.

Sorry for the all over the place rant, I'm terrible at this stuff lol.
