Windows becomes sluggish and switches to a slideshow mode after installing the graphics driver.
I've attempted to remove graphics drivers even going back to Windows 10, but each time the system installs them in a single batch. It appears everything happens at once and then stops abruptly, despite my efforts. The GPU I'm using is the GTX960, paired with a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU. After installing the new GPU, the problem continues and has even worsened with the RX480 8GB card. The power supply seems fine, but a faulty HDMI cable might be the cause.
I'll attempt it since I have the installer from last year, and I hope it works.
I’ve tried both approaches, swapping the SSD and reinstalling Windows with a fresh copy. But once the graphics drivers are set up, performance drops noticeably—games start lagging and stuttering. It’s frustrating, but I’m not sure what else I can do to improve it.
