I reused my old ssd from my old pc to save money. (using the original install)

I have checked for updates and have downloaded them.

 

I also think it could be because i am trying to run games better than my pc can handle them

i mean did you re install the OS when you swap the SSD over to this current PC?

that could be the reason

 

you need to re install the OS

 

your OS may carry drivers from the old PC

 

run with a clean PC and install back the games and driver and see how it goes from there
