Hey everyone, yesterday I relocated my PC to a new desk and since then, I’ve faced major problems starting games. After reconnecting everything, some titles are incredibly slow—almost like trying to play a recent game on a very old machine. In Call of Duty, the loading screen freezes and then the whole system stops working and needs a full restart. I’ve tried several things: stress tested GPU and CPU, checked and repositioned all cables and parts on the motherboard, reinstalled Windows 11 from scratch, ran a memory diagnostic, updated all drivers. Outside of gaming, the PC runs perfectly fine—no crashes or lag. It looks like this issue started right after the move. The power supply seems to be working correctly (no reboots, stress tests passed), but I’m still stuck. Anyone else had a similar experience? Do you have any tips for further troubleshooting? Thanks for your help!

I also executed the following command line utilities to verify system health: sfc /scannow – no problems detected DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth – finished without issues Still no progress.

Turn off the power supply, place the computer on a surface, inspect all connections, reinsert the RAM and graphics card.

This problem occurred again immediately after I performed the same action. I double-checked that all my cables were properly connected and reinserted the memory.

It seems the most probable place these games are set up is on a specific device. There are no problems with other programs.

Did it help you? I haven't tried that RAM yet.

Occurs when a game is saved on both of my drives. I have two identical SSDs.

Have you attempted to reinstall the games or check their integrity?

I've already tried that. Call of Duty causes crashes and freezes in other games, plus it slows everything down. I've checked integrity, reinstalled Windows, and even wiped the drive.
