I've been troubleshooting my gaming setup for a while now, and I could really use some help. I recently updated the BIOS, graphics drivers, Windows, and various drivers, and since then, none of my games will launch, with the exception of Project Zomboid. Before this update, I had some minor overclocks on both my CPU and GPU, which weren't causing any issues. My graphics card is a Gigabyte 7800 XT OC, and I've tried switching between the two BIOS modes to see if that would help, but it hasn't made a difference. I even resorted to completely reinstalling Windows 11, but that didn't help either. I just updated the BIOS to the latest version (7c95vhf1), and still, I can't get my games to work. I'm feeling really frustrated and close to giving up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You should stress-test your GPU with 3DMark. If most of your games aren't booting up, it could indicate a problem with your graphics card.
I ran 3DMark too, and it scored pretty well without any overclocking. It's confusing why games are still crashing.
I had the same thought, but I ran it through some other benchmarking tools and it was performing perfectly. I'm about to try 3DMark now, though!
