I'm having some serious issues with my Gigabyte GeForce GTX 2060. Here's what's happening: my PC runs super slow on startup; when I take out the GPU, everything works fine. Most of the time, only one monitor stays on when I boot up, and the PC often gets stuck on the boot screen. Also, if I put it to sleep, it just shuts down completely, and when it does boot, the screen gets stuck on a wide view. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Just a heads up, before jumping into driver stuff, you might want to check your power supply too. Sometimes, not enough power can cause similar issues, especially if the GPU needs more juice than the PSU can provide.
It sounds like you might need to do a clean driver install. Start by uninstalling the NVIDIA software, then use DDU to remove all NVIDIA drivers completely. After that, reinstall the drivers fresh. If you're still having problems, check if there's a way to reset or update the firmware for your GPU, which you can usually find in the manuals or online. Keep an eye out for thermal issues or any physical damage too, but it sounds more like a driver problem to me. You’ll need to troubleshoot a bit more to pinpoint the issue.
