Hey there! I've noticed some problems with my PC lately. It sometimes lags or stutters while playing games, even though it runs smoothly otherwise. The system specs are: Windows 10, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, MSI 3070, AM4 Gigabyte board, 64GB DDR4 RAM at 3600MHz. I've updated the graphics drivers, swapped out the GPU and RAM, but the issue persists. It doesn't occur during normal non-gaming tasks. I'm not sure if it's related to the CPU or something else. A video clip of the problem was attached—though it happens in other games too, like Counter-Strike, Fortnite, and The Finals. Any advice would be super helpful!

What power configuration options are active? If Balanced mode is selected, consider switching to High performance mode for better speed but increased power consumption. Other drivers might be responsible as well. Have you refreshed the chipset drivers? Are there many USB devices connected? Try disconnecting everything except the mouse and keyboard. How much storage usage occurs during gaming? Is it consistently at full capacity?
What's the available storage on your hard drive? It feels a bit like slow internet or assets being swapped in and out.
