Hopefully someone a bit more knowledgeable than me has an idea what might be causing this. I've recently purchased a new PC which I've assembled myself. Everything except my SSD is brand new since the SSD is only about 6 months old anyway. Upon starting up my PC in the morning i experience lag which is quite noticeable for the first 30-60 minutes or so. Basically it's like the screen freezes for half a second every couple of seconds, and if I play any audio during this time it turns into static for short periods of time in between actually playing the audio, very similarly to the way the display is acting. It only ever seems to happen after it's fired up in the morning, later on in the day the issue is completely gone and it won't reappear even if I restart the PC.
Just some background (in case it might be the SSD causing this), I got this PC about two weeks ago because my old one just stopped working. It wouldn't boot up as intended but would instead go straight into blue screen with the error "Critical Process Died". After not managing to solve the problem I gave up and got a new PC instead, but naively enough I assumed the SSD would not be the cause of the issue since it was very new compared to everything else in that build. After building my new PC I fire it up and get the exact same error, proving that the SSD was indeed the issue, so I did a secure erase of the SSD and reinstalled Windows on it, after which it was working fine. Except for this issue.
I'll put down some specs in case anyone has had a similar issue with any of the pieces of hardware I am running in my build.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: XFX Radeon RX 5600 THICC II PRO
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 3600 MHz x 2 (Total of 16GB RAM)
Motherboard: MSI B450-A PRO MAX
Power Supply: Corsair CV650
OS: Windows 10 Home
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
