Sorry for creating another thread. My drivers are all current, but I'll attempt to reinstall the NVIDIA driver. The PSU is a Thermaltake Smart BX1 RGB 650W.

As mentioned by darkbreeze, perform a clean installation instead of just a reinstall. Execute DDU, it might be effective.

I am unable to provide comments since there are no trustworthy reviews for that power supply. The ones available on eteknix and nikktech don’t meet my standards. One of them even labels it a "cooler." No credible sources have evaluated it, and considering the past quality and performance on most Thermaltake models—especially the poor TR2 and most of the Smart series that have been tested—I would be cautious about this version. Still, I can't confirm anything with certainty. I also can’t determine the original equipment manufacturer for that model.

As mentioned before, installing or reinstalling isn’t the same. You must perform a thorough clean install using the DDU and enter safe mode. Follow these steps: download the DDU, boot into safe mode by holding the shift key while clicking Restart, select the right options to access the safe mode menu, then choose safe mode and restart.

You should also ensure your motherboard BIOS is up to date before proceeding.

I mistakenly believed it was the Smart RGB Series SPR-0600NHFAW...
