Should I bring my PC to a specialist?
Should I bring my PC to a specialist?
Hello, I just assembled my first PC and it’s not working well with games. It can run them briefly before crashing or showing network issues. It performs fine when I’m not playing. SMH.
My FPS drops past 30.
I’ve updated Windows, upgraded the motherboard and GPU, installed some monitoring software for CPU and GPU usage, and even turned off my firewall temporarily to check. No firewall was the issue—everything was set to low graphics settings. My CPU and GPU stay cool at around 20-35°C. I’m still trying to figure this out and need help.
GPU: XFX Speedster MERC13 AMD Radeon RX 7900RX XTX
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core
PowerSupply: GAMEMAX 850W80 80 Plus Gold
Liquid cooler: NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series (2 sticks) 32GB
Yes, I am either streaming or recording while you play your games.
It might be useful to ask friends who know about PCs to visit and check it out in person, offering pizza in return.
It could be a simple issue that isn’t immediately clear online. I’d attempt this first before hiring someone for an hourly rate—something I’d consider only as a final option.
In the meantime, a photo of your setup could assist us with troubleshooting, including a view of the motherboard.

This was the closest I could manage—it’s my personal Instagram update showing what it looks like! Also, I really don’t know anyone face-to-face who’s experienced with PCs or I would have! haha
Did the new Windows 11 installation use an outdated product key?
