My system has been operating for about three years with only minor issues, but recently I've experienced random crashes, freezes, a distorted blue screen, and a black screen that restarts on its own.
I used DDU to remove and reinstall the NVIDIA drivers, but it didn’t work.
I performed a thorough clean of the system in case of temperature problems, but also had it run with integrated graphics for most of the day without any issues. However, the freezes and crashes remain unpredictable—whether the load is light or heavy, or whether it’s a single day or minutes apart.
I also emptied the power supply by connecting and disconnecting the GPU.
Another unusual occurrence was during one freeze that I inspected the display cables (two HDMI, one DP). Both HDMI connections still showed the frozen screen after reconnecting, but the DP connection did not.
