I bought a brand new gaming PC about a year ago based on a friend's suggestion, but I'm facing serious performance problems. In CS2, I'm stuck playing on the lowest settings, and the graphics look really blurry. In Rust, I'm only getting 30-40 FPS on the lowest settings, and it sometimes drops to a staggering 6-7 FPS. Additionally, my computer randomly freezes a few times a week, even if I don't have any programs open. A local repair shop couldn't figure out what's going on. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be? Here are my system specs: CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, RAM is 16GB TeamGroup T-Force, SSD is a Kingston 500GB NVMe, and the motherboard is an MSI B450M-A PRO MAX, running on Windows 11 Home.

Quick question for you—when you say you have 16GB of RAM, do you mean you have one 16GB stick or two 8GB sticks? It can make a difference for performance, especially in gaming.
It sounds like there's an issue with your GPU. Given your setup, you should definitely be hitting over 200 FPS in CS2, with the minimum staying above 100. I'd recommend running a benchmark test like 3DMark Timespy to see if your scores match up with what they should be for your hardware.
That kind of performance drop is really unusual for those specs. If benchmarks don't show issues, consider checking for driver updates and making sure your system isn't overheating. Sometimes bad thermal paste or inadequate cooling can cause severe slowdowns.
