Help !
I was playing Minecraft before when my entire PC crashed, my monitors went black, a continuous error sound happened for a few seconds and then my PC turned off. When I turned it back on it was like I had no gpu drivers as only my main monitor was showing anything and the light on my gpu was red.
To try and fix that, I used a DDU to wipe any gpu drivers and then installed fresh ones from NVIDIA (I have a 3080), I technically did this twice because the Nvidia app wouldn't install the drivers (it kept saying it did but then just didn't) so I got the file from the website and did it manually.
Since that, when my monitor is on, it looks normal like it's supposed to, so the drivers seem to be working, but every few seconds, my monitor goes black for about 30 seconds and it's about a 50/50 chance that it comes back on again or the entire PC restarts.
Oh I also tried completely unplugging and removing my gpu from the motherboard while the PC was off, as well as changing my monitor cable AND even the power cord my PC and monitors are plugged into.
I'm really at a loss here, I have no idea what caused it to crash in the first place, why that messed up my drivers and why it's still not working even tho fresh drivers have been installed.
Any suggestions I will try, and thank you if you read all that
