Sorry, this one slip off my radar!

From the reports;
[ul]
[li]remove Nortons (it can be reloaded later), it is known to cause weird stuff[/li][li]your DDR5-4800 is natively handled by the mobo, so turn off XMP mode in BIOS and see things change[/li][/ul]
Also create another user account on the PC and log in under that profile. That eliminates any scheduled task or startup item under the current account that may be causing the issue.

I can’t access the GSI report in post #6.
Instead of posting the zip file, drag it into https://www.getsysteminfo.com/ and post the URL it creates. (y)

i have noticed when i try to run cs:2 my window automatically gets zoomed out so there is a big border around the game. When I try to play GTA I can turn the resolution down and it looks worse but my screen doesn’t go black, or rarely goes black.

How long has this been happening, I see the OS was reinstalled Nov24, was this to try and fix this issue?
Has Nortons been removed?
Has XMP mode been turned off?
Have you tried the suggestions by Mal in post #11?
