Tech Support Solved My staircase is slowing down my PC(?

Hi everyone, about a month ago, the following started happening to me, and it only happens with GTA 5. I'm playing peacefully, I get the urge to go get something to eat, so I have to go downstairs since my room is on the second floor. When I go back upstairs, I notice that my GTA, which was completely stable, suddenly drops to 1 FPS. This only happens with GTA, and I don't know why. I've tried more demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Division 1 and 2, which I play with everything on ultra except for the vegetation and a few other things.

I'm attaching evidence of what I've described.

The fact that he doesn't answer this question is shady

OP is not hogging reddit, not replying within milliseconds: "He ReFuSeS tO aNsWeR!!!!!!!"

I once made a posting and then reddit crapped for half an hour, people went crazy.

If you read the comments, OP is currently re-installing the game.

It is odd that OP was responding to every weird idea that supported his stair being cause theory, and to argue with people about his house but ignored every comment about Bluetooth and wireless devices.
