I just built my PC two days ago, and everything was running smoothly until I tried to play The Sims. The game gets stuck on the loading screen, but I found that I could get in if I went offline. However, now my game isn't saving progress. I also tried another game through Steam, but it has the same issue. To get out of these crashes, I've had to rely on Task Manager, but it keeps telling me it's not responding! I'm confused because my setup includes a 7800x3d CPU, RX 6800 GPU, 16GB RAM, and a 2TB SSD, so I thought it should handle this fine. Why is everything acting up like this?

Hey, it sounds like you might want to check your motherboard's make and model first. Sometimes compatibility issues arise with certain components. Also, make sure your internet connection is stable; a bad Wi-Fi can mess things up, though it shouldn't directly affect Task Manager. Lastly, it's important to verify that your Windows 11 version is legit. Sometimes, issues pop up with non-genuine software.
Good call on checking those basics! If you got your Windows from a rep but on a Groupon deal, there might be issues with that key being activated properly. Always good to double-check!
