Question Can't watch videos while playing games after PC on for about 30 minutes.

[Wanderrlust]

Hello all, I think the title describes this basically pretty well. When I first turn on my PC, and open my browser, game of choice (Satisfactory as of now) and discord, I can watch a YouTube video at my will with it running at full quality. After around an hour or so, this all changes. My discord crashes and reloads, and videos I want to watch become choppy and basically unwatchable. I am not sure if it's a memory leak, to my limited knowledge it seems likely. I will be running MemTest86 tonight to see if I can find anything, but for now I try this as to be honest I am still not confident in my initial assumptions.

PC Specs:

MOBO: MSI PRO B550M-P Gen3

GPU: RX 5700 XT

CPU: Ryzen 5600 (non-x)

RAM: 32GB of 3600mhz Corsair Vengeance

OS Running on a 1TB 970 EVO Plus.

Windows 10.

Thanks in advance <3

Leave task manager open in background and check it when slowdowns occurs. If you suspect memory leak, also open Resource Monitor from it at Memory tab.

check temperatures of CPU and GPU while it´s slowing down, the frequency of the CPU and GPU as well

to have a look what the problem could be:
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730


check windows integrity
open the command prompt as administrator and type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Thanks both very much for the responses. I'll check back in after the MemTest, and I'll give both these suggestions a shot. Cheers.
