Please help! I am losing my mind.

I recently upgraded my GPU and PSU (Aug 8) and ever since, anytime I have any source in OBS, webm, mov, even ecternal browser source the gpu immediately maxes out to 100%!

CPU: Ryzen 5 5500 → Ryzen 9 5900X
RAM: 16 GB → 32 GB
GPU: RTX 4060 → upgraded to RTX 5070 on Aug. 6
PSU: 600 W → upgraded to 1000 w on Aug. 6

These are the following things I have tried to see if they made any difference:

• NVIDIA driver roll back
• OBS downgrade to 32.1.2
• OBS 32.2.1
• Hardware decoding ON
• Hardware decoding OFF
• Browser Hardware Acceleration ON
• Browser Hardware Acceleration OFF
• HAGS already OFF
• Running OBS as Administrator
• Disabling OBS preview
• OpenGL renderer (this actually worked BUT could not stream with it)
• Testing a completely fresh OBS profile
• Removing audio from problematic WebMs
• Reducing WebM resolution
• Re-encoding problematic WebMs
• Testing VP8/VP9 variations
• Testing alpha/RGBA variations
• Testing different animated WebMs
• Testing MOV
• Testing Browser Sources
• Testing sources individually
• Testing while not streaming

If you have any other ideas or suggestions please let me know. I am at my wits end :( And about to try to redo my entire stream overlay with no transparency sounds like a flipping nightmare and honestly...boring :(
