Hey everyone! So, I bought a new PC for my son about a month ago, and out of nowhere, it's been lagging a lot. The mouse is skipping around, and the screen is also lagging. I've already tried resetting the PC, but that didn't help. Plus, my son is complaining that his FPS in games keeps dropping. I'm really looking for some advice on how to fix this issue. Here's the link to the PC I bought: https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-002D-000H7?item=9SIAZBDKCZ6953&utm_source=transactional&utm_medium=email&cm_mmc=TEMC-Delivery-Notice-USA-_-101932&utm_campaign=TEMC-Delivery-Notice-USA-_-101932

It sounds like you might want to check a few things. First, is your storage almost full? That can really slow down your PC. Also, open the task manager while you have a few apps running, like Chrome with some tabs, and see what your CPU and RAM usage looks like. It's also good to check your SSD usage. Make sure to download Core Temp to check the system temperatures when your son is gaming. If fans are louder than normal, that could be a sign too!
When you say you did a reset, what exactly do you mean? Did you do a full factory reset or just a basic reboot? Sometimes, a system restore can help if something was installed that’s causing these issues.
First off, make sure that the display cable (like the HDMI) is connected to the graphics card and not the motherboard. You want to plug it into the back of the graphics card. If that’s all good and you’re still having issues, check if the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 drivers are up to date.
