I just recently built a PC, and it was running smoothly at first. However, starting today, everything is lagging like crazy. I can't even open games without experiencing frame drops. I have a 5070 graphics card and a Ryzen 5 7600X on a B650E motherboard. I've updated all the drivers, but I'm not sure when the slowdown actually began. Can anyone give me some advice on what might be causing this?

Hey! It sounds frustrating. First off, when did you start noticing the lag? Also, what are the specs of your PC? That info can really help narrow it down.
You mentioned everything was fine before. Did you install any new programs or updates right before the slowdown started? That could be a clue.
I’m on the same page as TechGuru77. Based on your specs, it shouldn’t be running slow at all. You may want to check if there are any background processes hogging your resources. Sometimes, new drivers can also cause issues—even if they’re supposed to help.
