Hello everyone, the title captures the essence quite accurately. When I power on my PC and open my browser, game (Satisfactory as of now) and Discord, I can freely watch YouTube videos at full quality. After about an hour, things start to shift. My Discord freezes and restarts, and the videos I plan to watch become unstable and hard to view. I’m not sure if it’s a memory leak, but it seems likely based on what I’ve noticed so far. I’ll run MemTest86 tonight to check for issues, but for now I’m still unsure about my initial thoughts.

Leave task manager open in background and check it when slowdowns occurs. If you suspect memory leak, also open Resource Monitor from it at Memory tab.

monitor cpu and gpu temperatures during slowdown, observe their frequencies as well to identify potential issues.
run userbenchmark.com and share the result link, for example:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730
check windows integrity
launch the command prompt with admin rights and execute DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

perform a clean boot
