Hi everyone, I recently built my dream PC featuring an RTX 5080 AORUS MASTER ICE. Things were running smoothly for about a week, but then everything changed. Now, every time I try to launch a game, I run into black screens, flickering, and strange artifacts. I'm really at a loss here and could use some help! Here's a list of what I've tried to fix the problem:
- Removed drivers using the NVIDIA tool and tested several different versions.
- Disabled Fast Boot.
- Turned off Integrated Graphics.
- Disabled G-Sync.
- Did a clean Windows install.
- Uninstalled drivers with DDU in Safe Mode.
Just to give you an idea of my setup:
- GPU: RTX 5080 AORUS MASTER ICE
- Motherboard: ASUS X870A
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
If anybody has suggestions or ideas on what else I could try, I would greatly appreciate it!

It sounds like your GPU might be defective, unfortunately. It’s worth checking the Event Viewer under Windows logs, specifically for Video TDR events, to see if that points to any specific issues.
Interesting! I thought it could just be a driver glitch, but maybe it's something more. Have you had similar experiences?
