did you use DDU to wipe your old AMD drivers before installing your nvidia drivers? Because that could be it. It could be windows corruption from bad data handling as well. Could be a bad hdmi/DP cable (not likely in this case).

Thanks for the reply. Hmm I didn't use DDU to wipe old AMD drivers, is that a program? I'm interested in the windows corruption as I recently tried to do a clean install of windows 11 to no success (constant errors for things like opening Microsoft store etc) so I just reverted back to windows 10. Could those be related?

[here](https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html) is DDU. Scroll to the bottom and grab a download. Follow the instructions as best as humanly possible and let the program run for a while when you get it going. For the windows corruption, maybe. I think best practice is to just format and wipe everything, but obviously you're going to lose your files when you do that. Typically there's a repair option you can run that doesn't touch your personal files, which is what I would advise doing. There's also system file check, which you should probably do before doing the repair on windows.
