So every time I unplug my computer from the wall...or flip the power switch on the Power Supply...my PC acts very weird. When I boot up a game like csgo then go into a Match...I have only 50-60 fps... instead of my normal 300+. I have found that completely uninstalling the Graphics Drivers and reinstalling them solved the problem...but if I unplug my PC or flip the switch....back to the 50 fps...

 

Thanks in advance.

if you have an nVidia GPU check GeForce Experience, Battery boost might be enabled. 

why no dark mode?

I'm very confused, what do you mean flip the switch on your PSU? Like to turn the computer on? I assumed you were on a laptop because it sounded like you were unplugging it.

Is it just after a reboot from power loss?

Recently there was a really bad storm in my area so after turning my computer off I unplugged it from the wall (because I had bad problems in the past with a diff. PC). After the storms pass I plug my PC back in and boot up and start gaming and have a 3rd of the FPS that I usually get...and my only solution is uninstalling the Drivers...and reinstalling them to fix the problem. If I simply turn my pc off and on...its perfectly fine...but the problem comes when my PC is off and I either unplug it or flip the PSU switch.
