I upgraded my SSD and now I'm having crashes, stuttering, and my system is laggy while running games. I suspect my GPU is being bottlenecked, but not sure which component is doing it.
System Specs:
CPU: Intel i5-8400 2.80 GHz
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING S
RAM: 2x8 DDR3 1600 (runs at 2666 MHz)
SSD/HDD: 1TB HDD, Silicon Power 4TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 (Games are installed here), 125GB internal SSD (Windows install)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB, integrated Intel UH Graphics 630 for second display
PSU: Corsair 850W (5 months old)
OS: Windows 10
Monitors: Primary: Acer 75 Hz 1920x1080, Secondary: HP 2011 60 Hz 1600x900
Despite my GPU being way stronger than other components, I haven't had major enough performance issues in the 5 months since buying it to justify an upgrade until now. The new SSD is faster at 5,000MBps read/4,500MBps write to 3430 MBps read/2600 MBps write. So far I've wiped the graphics drivers and reinstalled them and the problem still occurs. Crusader Kings 3 (a very low intensity game) and Jedi Survivor stopped crashing after disabling v-sync and updating the AMD driver. Overwatch 2 runs smooth sometimes but other times will stutter and always crashes after playing a while, but it's usually when there's a lot of explosions and particle effects on screen and is more like the game froze, where as when CK3 and Jedi Survivor crashed it would just close like it ran out of memory. I moved Overwatch 2 to my HDD and the problem persisted. I was thinking maybe the CPU and/or memory can't handle the faster SSD speed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here's what is looks like normally while playing Jedi Survivor, it's a recent game and will run at 60 FPS if I'm standing still. When I move the camera or run it stutters or freezes every few seconds and when that happens the CPU and GPU utilization drop, but the memory usage stays at around 90%.
