Hey everyone! I recently built my dream PC featuring an RTX 5080 AORUS MASTER ICE. For the first week, everything was running smoothly, but then I started facing some major issues. Now, whenever I try to launch any game, the GPU crashes resulting in black screens, flickering, or bizarre artifacts. I've tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps, including removing and reinstalling drivers, disabling Fast Boot and Integrated Graphics, turning off G-Sync, doing a clean install of Windows, and even using DDU to uninstall drivers in Safe Mode. Here are my main specs: GPU: RTX 5080 AORUS MASTER ICE, Motherboard: ASUS X870A, CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D. I'm getting pretty desperate—any ideas on what I could try next?

It sounds like a frustrating issue! From what you described, it could be a defective video card. Definitely check the Event Viewer for any Video TDR events; that might give you more insight into what’s going wrong.
I had a similar problem and thought it was drivers too, but it ended up being my GPU. Just to clarify, have you checked if the GPU is overheating or if there are any physical damages? It's worth looking into.
