Question Numerous issues after installing new Cpu, Motherboard, and Ram

I had upgraded some major components of my pc not too long ago.

Ever since then I've been having some pretty annoying issues. Everything worked fine prior. Sometimes, when using my mouse and keyboard, primarily during games, they sometimes become unresponsive, the screen freezes for a short moment, then the Keyboard and Mouse will hold any button that was pressed before the freeze until I re-input it, and the mouse will jerk in a random direction. Also, when restarting the pc, my keyboard and/or mouse will disconnect and I have to unplug and re-plug to get them working again. (The mouse will turn on but not work, and the keyboard will shut off after being on for a moment) I have a Tourbox, which is a drawing controller plugged in via usb, and that will also have issues on occasion. It will sometimes just fully stop working and have to unplug and re-plug in to get working as well.

I have already replaced my ram with new, completely different brand sticks and gotten a replacement motherboard from Asus under warranty. I've tried updating every driver, and doing temperature tests while playing and nothing is out of the ordinary. Ive tried using different keyboards and mice, using them in different usb ports. Nothing has fixed anything

Possibly unrelated but just in case it happens to be related, while playing Overwatch, the game crashes randomly in the middle of matches. Only this game has that issue, but suffers the worst from all the other issues mentioned.

Motherboard- Asus Tuf Gaming B650-E Wifi
Ram-Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36
CPU- Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU-Radeon RX 7800 XT (Just in case it matters. I got this after these issues happened, I had a 3060ti when I replaced the other components)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Did you reinstall the OS after the parts upgrade/swap? If not, that's the root of your issue.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I had to upgrade to Windows 11 from 10 during the time period. Would that count as a re-install or no
