I'm having trouble figuring out what's going wrong with my PC. Recently, my 8700k with 16GB RAM and an Intel 1070 has extremely low frame rates—often under 30 FPS at 1080p in low settings. I used to get over 100 FPS before, but now it's a constant issue across all games. The GPU is reporting as idle, but the CPU seems to be limiting performance. I've reinstalled Windows, updated the GPU drivers, and changed my BIOS settings, yet the problem persists. CPU usage stays below 20%. Also, temperatures are normal. Maybe the game has a setting that restricts CPU access? It might be related to power settings being set to maximum performance.

You likely disconnected the monitor, moved your PC, and then connected it back to the motherboard. If you're seeing UHD 630 output or the GPU isn't working, it probably means the GPU failed—either integrated or completely dead.

CPU load stays below 100% while GPU reaches full capacity. This indicates your CPU isn’t limiting performance. Confirm the monitor is connected to the GPU, not the motherboard.
