The problem I’m facing is with Fortnite, Splitgate, DayZ, and other games that offer a high refresh rate. When I rapidly glance back and forth—like when taking a photo or during close combat—I experience a significant drop to just 1 frame per second, which is quite noticeable. However, when I open the game alone, everything runs smoothly. But with Discord open, there’s a major frame drop when I move quickly. My guess is that my M.2 drive might be the issue, as it has less than 100GB left and could be affecting performance while other programs like Discord are active. Although my RAM and CPU seem capable, I suspect they’re not the main cause. I’ve rebuilt my PC at least five times due to motherboards repeatedly failing. My build was even highlighted in Greg Salazar’s Fix or Flop series; the only change since then was upgrading from a 3070 to a 3080 graphics card and the motherboard. I haven’t played Modern Warfare 2 much lately, so I’m unsure if frame drops occur in that game when Discord is running. If this advice gets shared widely, I’ll try the suggestions I can before reaching out again!

If the PC is shown in the video, it seems he didn't install the necessary drivers for the board, which suggests he might not have had your password.

the motherboard has been altered once more after the video. Did you see my full caption? the video simply covers a history of my computer.

I also observed that this was the third mobile device, and I haven’t found any reference indicating a fresh Windows installation. Your system includes multiple motherboard drivers and various chipset audio SATA controller drivers; it seems the computer is trying to handle all these components without clear instructions.
