Hello, recently I purchased a new GPU (GIGABYTE WindForce GeForce® RTX™ 3060 OC, 12GB GDDR6, 192-bit) and 5 Noctua fans to make sure temperatures will be alright. Shortly after switching my GPU I encounter frame drops down to ~20 FPS that after 10 or more seconds usually end with a PC crash (no bluescreen, it just shuts down as if you unplugged it) and while looking at Task Manager I can see that CPU activity drops down close to 0% or even 0%. My CPU is a AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (I checked sites online that said it shouldn't have any issues with the new GPU) and my Power Supply is a nJoy Titan 600, 600W Real Power, PFC Active, 80 Plus Bronze. I am desperate because no matter how much I searched I couldn't find a definitive answer. Temperatures are not an issue: both the CPU and GPU are at around 70~ degrees Celsius while playing powerful games.

Please help me with what do I need to do to solve this: buy a new component replacement or is it something else that doesn't require switching any components.

You may be able to uncover more information by looking in the event viewer to see if any exceptions in particular are being thrown. Have you tried reseating the card? Have you updated drivers to the latest? What did you have for your previous GPU, and did you uninstall them using DDU?

My previous GPU was XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX, 8GB, 256-bit. I didn't think about using the DDU program you suggested, I simply deleted the AMD GPU driver folders and the app. Right before writing this reply I uninstalled the drivers properly using the DDU program you mentioned. I will make a new post in this thread if I encounter the same issue again in the near feature. Until then I think you provided me with the best advice atm, so thank you regardless!

The problem still persists. I need to rectify that not the CPU activity goes close to 0%, but the GHz number goes to aproximately 0.50, while the activity is somewhere around 15% while the stuttering to crashing. I also found out that this crash usually occurs when playing a more demanding game like Dead by Daylight or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I looked in event viewer and I found this Error shortly after the crash (in the picture bellow), can that be the issue that's causing this?

I found out something new when the CPU stutter is happening, CPU temperature spikes all the way up to ~107 degrees Celsius. Is it because of thermal paste or do I need to upgrade my CPU as well?

I solved the problem. One of the RAMs wasn't fully inside it's socket. I also upgraded my CPU and CPU Cooler.
