I play fewer games but run a lot of Forza on my PC and some FiveM. The problem is that my CPU stays around 50% while the GPU stays stuck. After installing Windows 11 I never had this before, but over the last three months I’ve noticed strange behavior—games would freeze or my whole system would crash, forcing a hard shutdown. I turned off all overclocks including XMP, Turbo Boost and I even underclocked my GPU to check. Also, my temperatures are normal: GPU never exceeds 70°C and VRAM stays below 85°C after hours of play. CPU never goes above 60°C and it’s cooled by a standard AIO cooler I don’t remember the exact model. I’m not sure what could be causing this. My specs are: motherboard z390 Aorus Pro, GPU Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming, 32GB RAM at 3200MHz, CPU i79700K, PSU EVGA 850 G5.
