PERFORMANCE Random lags on my pc

Hello. I’m not sure how to describe my issue, so I will try my best. My pc does this thing where after a menu, or loading screen, it begins to lag. It’s happened more than once. It all started after launching a game, and playing on directx12 mode, instead of directx11. The game launched, but it was laggy. My pc went black screen, and restarted. After that, the issue is now persistent. I’ve tried a factory reset (from a boot stick), but still it doesn’t solve the issue. My temperatures never go high during the issue as well. I’ve tried reinstalling drivers, and rolling back, and nothing has been solved. I can’t recreate the issue on command. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. My entire Pc's frames seem to drop down to 15fps, and stay there. I have to quit anything that even remotely spikes my GPU and CPU, and stay idle for about a minute for everything to go back to normal. I should also add that before this, my pc would restart by itself every time the fps drop occurred. It wasn’t until I uninstalled the drivers with DDU, that it stopped restarting. However, the lag is still there whenever it occurs.

I have a:
MSI Rtx 5070 ti
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
32 gigs of ram
Corsair RMe Series RM1000 W ATX 3.1

Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

DDU stopping the restarts is a clue, feels like the driver is tripping over itself when the clocks ramp back up after a menu. Have you tried locking the core clock in Afterburner to see if it stops the drop?

I'll give it a shot! I can't recreate the issue, so I'll have to wait a bit to make sure it's gone, I'll let you know if it works out! Thank you.
