I've been having some serious trouble with my PC over the last few days. It started with Discord; I couldn't hear my friends, but they could hear me just fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Discord, but then I ran into a bigger issue—now I can't open websites; they just load endlessly! My computer has also become really slow, and updates aren't going through. A restart didn't help either.
To troubleshoot, I decided to reboot my system. I wanted a fresh start, so I deleted everything, hoping it would fix the problems. Still no luck. I updated my hardware about a year ago and thought it was decent, except for my storage situation. I had a 1TB HDD and a 500GB SSD, but I recently got a new PCIe 5 SSD with 1TB. I installed this new SSD today, removed the HDD, booted my PC with a USB stick, wiped everything on the old SSD, and installed Windows on the new one. It's set as the boot option in the BIOS, and Windows is running from it, but I'm still experiencing the same issues—websites aren't loading, and updates are painfully slow, with the Nvidia Driver update stuck at 10% for hours. I'm really at my wit's end here—any idea what's going on?
My setup includes 32GB of RAM and an Asus Prime B650-K motherboard. Please help me out!

First off, it sounds like a huge hassle! Before diving deeper, have you tried running a speed test to make sure your internet connection is good? Sometimes the issue could be with the network rather than the PC itself. If other devices like your phone and laptop are working fine, it might be specific to your PC. Also, double-check your network settings; there might be something off there. Give it a shot and let us know!
Yeah, I’m with you on this! If your internet works elsewhere, maybe it’s a Windows or driver issue with your PC.
