Hello, I own an MSI B550 Gaming Plus board. Three weeks ago I swapped the Ryzen 5 5600 for the Ryzen 5700X. Everything appears to function well now. The issue started after that change—sometimes when I power on my PC, the internet connection (Cat. 5e cable) drops to 10 Mb/s instead of the expected 300 Mb/s. Restarting the router resolves it, but it wasn’t present before. During the replacement, I turned off the power strip (which also supplies the monitor and speakers), didn’t remove the Ethernet cable, so perhaps that’s the cause?
