Hey folks, I recently upgraded my graphics card to a Gigabyte Windforce RTX 5080 OC, but now my PC freezes whenever I start any games. Everything else seems to be running smoothly, but as soon as I launch a game, the system hangs. Here are my specs: CPU: Intel i5-12400, Motherboard: ASUS Prime B660-Plus D4, RAM: 32GB (2×16GB) Corsair DDR4 3200MHz, Storage: WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe, and PSU: Corsair CX750 Watts. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Make sure you have the latest GPU and motherboard BIOS updates. Sometimes, older BIOS versions can create incompatibility issues with new hardware. If your motherboard's BIOS was released before the RTX 5080 came out, updating it should help resolve some of these freezing problems.
It sounds like your new RTX 5080 OC might need more power. The recommended wattage is actually 850W, and running it with a 750W PSU could cause issues. I'd suggest checking if your GPU drivers are properly installed using DDU, and maybe look into upgrading your PSU if the freezing continues.
