I've been having some frustrating black screen problems with my system, especially related to the newer NVIDIA drivers. Currently, I'm using version 566.36, which seems to be the most stable one for me. I sometimes get a black screen, but I'm unsure if it's caused by the driver or some other hardware issue.
I'm running dual monitors with different refresh rates, and I don't have GSYNC or DLSS enabled. Every once in a while, I notice the black screen. When I restart, I see the light on my GPU flickering or going off, even though I haven't touched anything. I have to fiddle with the cable until it's secure enough for the light to stay on.
Here are my PC specs:
- Asus B550M-E TUF Gaming Motherboard
- AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Processor
- Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM
- WD Blue SN550 1TB NVMe SSD
- Asus GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB TUF
- Corsair Carbide 275R Tempered Glass Case
- Corsair CV550 550W 80+ Bronze PSU
Any help or suggestions would be great!

It sounds like you might be dealing with a connection issue rather than a driver problem. Make sure to check the power cable that's connecting to the GPU as it could be loose or damaged. Sometimes the port where the cable connects can also cause issues, so ensuring that everything is snug can help. You may want to try using a different power cable or plugging it into a different port if available!
How would I fix that? I'm not super experienced with PCs.
