My younger brother came to me saying he had some problems with his pc. I boot it up, and it runs fine until I open a steam game. Every single game seems to run at 12fps, and when the game is closed, the entire pc runs at 12fps. There is a second after I boot up a game where it seems fine, but the after that the performance nosedives. In the first few weeks of having the PC, everything was fine. This issue arose around 3 days ago. Specs: Powercolor Fighter RX 6600 Ryzen 7 5700X 2x16 GB DDR4 RAM @ 3600MHz Gigabyte A520M S2H 1TB NVME Cooling seems adequate. I’ve tried: Driver updates, Checking refresh rate, Making sure cable was plugged in to correct slot, Lowering game graphics. I checked task manager, and the CPU max usage was around 30%, GPU 45%, RAM 33%. Any help would be massively appreciated, since I’m meant to be the computer person in the family, but I don’t know what to do. Thanks

Ignore the issue with the checking GPU drivers.

It was about to mention this might be a GPU problem.
