Problem: Frame rate drops significantly and requires a system reboot to resolve.
Greetings, I'm a seasoned PC user and have encountered this issue for the first time. For approximately two months, I’ve been experiencing a frustrating problem with my gaming PC: after startup and game loading, I typically have a smooth experience until the frame rate drops to 10-15 fps, consistently resolving itself with a computer restart. I've attempted several solutions to resolve this:
-Performing a clean driver reinstall via DDU in safe mode followed by installing the latest drivers.
-Disabling Fast Startup both within the BIOS and through Windows settings.
-Updating Windows to its most current version, along with all applicable drivers (audio, chipset, etc.).
-Utilizing MSI Afterburner and HWMonitor to observe system performance and identify potential bottlenecks. My most drastic attempt was a complete computer format, which unfortunately did not provide any improvement.
Below is included an image demonstrating the issue within Forza Horizon 4, a game that typically runs at 70-100 fps, currently exhibiting approximately 15 fps with HWMonitor displaying GPU metrics in the background.
I am hoping someone can offer assistance, and I’m happy to provide further information if needed. Thank you.

Operating temperatures remained within acceptable limits, peaking at 70°C before and after system resets, achieving full resource utilization without any slowdown or lagging.

Could you please specify the precise make and version of the power supply unit?
@WildCard999
Could you clarify what you mean by “green label”? The power supply unit is three years old and was recently purchased.
Several distinct CX models exist, and the older green-labeled power supplies exhibited substandard performance, potentially leading to your problem. The more recent CX or CXM grey-labeled PSUs demonstrate improved quality. Considering the efforts you’ve undertaken and factoring in that temperatures remain within acceptable limits, I suspect a fault with the power supply unit. Can you recall any modifications—whether software or hardware—made approximately two months prior to the onset of this issue?
Examined the power supply unit, and it displays a green indicator. Therefore, the PSU could be the source of the problem. Concerning modifications, there have been no unusual alterations beyond standard system updates (Windows and driver revisions).
