I recently switched from AMD to NVIDIA and installed an MSI 5080 Shadow 3X graphics card. However, I'm facing a frustrating issue where every game I try crashes. I made sure to install the latest drivers during the setup and used DDU to completely remove any traces of the AMD drivers. Despite this, games like Cyberpunk and Control crash, and Doom freezes while the music continues to play. I'm really at a loss about what to do next. Here are my system specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X, GPU: 5080 MSI Shadow 3X, RAM: 128GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RGB, SSD: Samsung 1TB and Samsung 1TB M.2, Power Supply: 750W MSI. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure your BIOS is updated too! Sometimes, older BIOS versions can cause compatibility issues with new hardware. It seems like a lot of things can go wrong with such powerful hardware combined with games right now. And don’t forget to check for firmware updates for your SSDs!
First thing, make sure that your power supply is sufficient for the 5080. Sometimes underpowered systems can lead to crashes. Also, try checking if there's any overheating issue; make sure your cooling is up to par. Lastly, look into whether the games are fully updated or if they have known issues with the new NVIDIA drivers.
