After a recent uograde i have had a load of problems, and i have doe a thousands steps to fix this but nothing helps

It is a long story, but what i did now was to reinstall windows and update/download all drivers. Wiped the game files m.2 ssd and the os m.2

Many of the problems are gone, any corrupted file are gone but, there is still a couple problems i have no idea how to fix, absolutely no idea

Everytime i start certain games, one game in particular is warthunder. Once i log in and join a match, somethime in between 15 secounds do 15 minutes the fps drops to zero, freezes and stay that way for 30 secounds or to over a minute, mabye two.

This doesnt happen in every game, some games run without any problem
herr i have some pictures, i have a phone recorded video as well but i cant attach it here. I opened task manager, tought that might show something, at least it showed something happened when it happened
Before fps drop/crash

After fps drop/crash

i even had the pc to a repair shop, but they could not find any issue. These issues cant be predicted, it happens anythime!!

cam this be a Gpu issue? I have been having problem with its drivers, functions in the nvidia ecperience stopped working etc, mabye psu?

If it's happening only with online games, it's most probably intermittent internet connection to blame or particular server, Monitor your internet connection to verify.

It cant be the internet

Some online games run perfectly fine, others dont

A couple days afo when this happened the mouse and keyboard stopped working, due to that crash
 
Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.

Either one or both tools may be capturing some error code, warning, or even an informational event just before or at the time of the fps drops/crashes.

Look for patterns. You know when you were gaming and/or saw fps drops so look at those dates and times.

Loads of error codes there
 
Good work. Do not stress.

Windows PackageManager.

FYI:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/

Just some background information that may prove helpful along the way. No need to be concerned about understanding and remembering it all.

As an initial thought I expect that a file was corrupted either during download or perhaps installation.

Try using "dism" and "sfc /scannow" to fix. In that order.

What to do:

https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-use-sfc-scannow-to-repair-windows-system-files-2626161

If the above Windows tools do not resolve the problem then the next step may be to address Windows PackageManager directly.

And you may need to capture a few more error reports.

Also, someone else may immediately recognize the problem and offer other ideas and suggestions.

No problem with that.

Varying and intermittent errors could be power or connection related.

How old is the PSU? History of heavy gaming use - correct?

Could be nearing its' designed in EOL (End of Life) and unable to provide the necessary wattage at times of peak demand.

= = = =

Going to go back a couple of steps:

Power down, unplug, open the case.

Clean out dust and debris.

Verify by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fully and firmly in place.

Use a bright flashlight to inspect for signs of damage: bare conductor showing, melted insulation, pinched or kinked wires, browned or blackened areas, loose or missing screws, cracks, swollen components. Anything at all.

In the meantime keep an eye on the various errors being captured and watch for patterns.

I just swapped pc cases two weeks ago, and was hoping that would solve the issue if it was related to bad connections etc, i spent 2 days building it and double checked everything.

I have a 1 ½ year old Corsair HX1200w psu

It is not extreme gaming, but it runs some games wich is demanding, warthunder, battlefield, rd2, cyberpunk, teardown, beamng forza horizon etc etc

(These problems started after i uograded cpu, ram, motherboard and m.2's)

The only two options in my opinion is either the gpu, psu or the brand new m.2
