Hello everyone, I'm reaching out for advice on an issue with my PC. It worked fine before, but after moving and reassembling it, performance dropped significantly. My system specs are: Intel Core i3-8100, 8GB RAM, Zotac 1060 6GB. I’m using Windows 11. Initially, I noticed bottlenecks early on, especially when I was new to the setup. Now, while it still runs games at over 60 FPS on high settings, it only manages around 30 FPS in CS:GO on low settings. I've tried several fixes—adjusting game priority, disabling power-saving features, updating drivers, even reformatting the drive. The GPU usage stays consistently low (5-6%). I ran a benchmark and got great results, which makes me think hardware might be the main problem. If you have any suggestions or components to check beyond the GPU, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
