Hello everyone I've been facing this problem for quite some time now. My PC's performance dropped significantly from its original $700 value to a $300 model, highlighting just how much of an impact it has had. The situation has become worse with overclocking and frequent blue screens. After resetting everything to defaults, I didn't want to risk further issues since I've been dealing with this problem without the time to fix it properly. I never expected to find a solution at first, but learning from my mistakes helped. I've noticed differences in web browsing when watching videos versus normal use. I'm sure it's because another computer with similar specs works perfectly, just like this one. It seems like something is underclocked, which matches what I mentioned earlier. I'm not the right person to adjust these settings now, so I'll just make things worse. That's why I really need your help. Thanks in advance.

Ensure your BIOS is current. That should resolve the issue. Additionally, review your applications and remove any unnecessary software or overclocking tools.

Open the BIOS settings, then visit the official site of your motherboard maker to review the most recent BIOS version available.

Enter the BIOS settings, then visit the website of your motherboard maker, compare the current BIOS with the latest available. With version F6, the newest stable release is F7—should I try updating?

Absolutely, ensure you always use the most recent BIOS version (excluding beta releases).

Always make sure to upgrade to the newest BIOS (not a beta).
The job is done. The problem is still there...

Ensure the bios/uefi is configured with the best default settings first, then enable XMP to optimize RAM performance. Check if these changes impact the results.

Ensure the bios/uefi is configured with the best default settings first, then enable XMP so the RAM operates at its rated specifications. Check if this adjustment impacts performance. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

If you upload the file to a platform such as Dropbox or similar, SaberCatHost could also review it, for example at https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&...J8jXYITYng
