4. If you have the sound program Nahimic 2 from MSI installed, disable or uninstall it.
The same applies to all overlays like Riva tuner overlay (Rivatuner Statistics Server)
If you have it - turn off MSI Afterburner
Turn off all graphics program running in the background
5. Check if your Windows is up to date
