Hi,
Your current setup includes Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with BIOS from November 14, 2016. The system runs on an Intel i5-7500 CPU and has about 3.4GHz performance. There is a 32" LG UltraGear monitor with 2560x1440 resolution. After installing the new monitor, your system feels significantly slower. It seems like the video card might not be handling the load well, or there could be driver issues. I’m unsure if updates are necessary and would appreciate any advice on troubleshooting this situation. Thanks.

Are you using Adblock with a Chrome browser? There’s a current issue that’s causing problems for users of Adblock, slowing down your PC and making the CPU work harder—possibly due to Adblock’s recent changes. YouTube Premium subscribers seem to be affected too. www.pcgamer.com

I use Microsoft Edge... and I believe an adblocker might be active. Let me check your link.

I'll check whether visiting other sites besides YouTube affects my computer's speed. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll update you once I have the results. Thanks.

That was it... I forgot to let you all know. It turns out it wasn't my monitor, but YouTube. Thanks.
