I recently upgraded my GPU from a 4060 to a 5070, but since then, my PC has been running extremely slowly and choppily. I went into safe mode, uninstalled my old drivers using DDU, and then reinstalled the latest NVIDIA drivers. Now, my PC takes ages to boot up compared to when I had the 4060, and sometimes it even freezes completely. Here are my specs: I'm running Windows 11 Pro on an Asus B760-I with an Nvidia 5070, 850W Corsair PSU, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and a 2.5TB SSD. When I used the 4060, everything was smooth, but now I can't seem to get it running normally. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What kind of power supply are you using? Sometimes that can affect performance, especially with a more powerful GPU.
That's odd, usually upgrading within the same brand shouldn't cause issues like this. Have you thought about trying an older driver? NVIDIA's latest ones have been a bit buggy lately. Also, clearing your shader caches for Steam or Windows might help too!
I actually tried an older driver, but the same thing happened. The desktop crashed and wouldn't even boot up. The motherboard has all the usual lights, and both the CPU fan and GPU fan are working, but I get no display at all.
I've got an 850W Corsair PSU, fully modular and Platinum rated.
