Have you updated all your drivers after the reset? Outdated or missing drivers can cause major performance issues with games.

Make sure you check if your GPU's PCIe bandwidth is set correctly. Using a tool like GPU-Z can help you confirm that everything is running at optimal levels.

It’s crucial to reinstall your drivers after a reset. If you're unsure how to do it, I can help explain! I had a similar issue after resetting my gaming laptop where games like RDR2 dropped to 2fps. It was all about getting the right drivers back on.

It sounds like a frustrating situation! The slowness could be caused by a variety of factors. First, think about what might have changed after the reset. Here are a few things to consider:
- Your shader cache might not be built yet, which can affect performance.
- Some settings could be misconfigured compared to your previous setup.
- If you're now using an HDD instead of an SSD for game installation, that could slow things down significantly.
