Hi everyone, I've been facing some problems with my PC recently. Essentially, I had to purchase a new power supply and GPU, which caused delays in using the system until about two days ago when the parts arrived. After testing, it seems the loading times are unusually high for certain activities—like a Rocket League match or FIFA—which take longer than usual. Additionally, I've observed that the hard drive usage reaches 100% with "SYSTEM" running at full capacity, something that didn't occur before. Even though I'm using an HDD, the loading times remained acceptable and overall performance stayed stable. My question is, what's causing this issue and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

When you installed the new GPU, was it a different version than the previous one? I'm asking this since switching GPU models requires a thorough cleanup of old drivers using DDU in safe mode. Driver files hold your GPU's ID, and keeping the old ID could lead to issues.

It was definitely that. I just installed the updated driver and selected the clean installation option.

Avoid doing it that way, particularly with a new GPU model. Ensure all driver traces are completely removed using DDU in Safe Mode.
