My hardware configuration includes an R5 3600 Asus TUF B550 plus ASUS DUAL NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti. The issue I encounter is that when I power on my PC, it completes a full boot cycle, but during the OS loading phase the system freezes. I have a backlit keyboard and this causes flashing or blinking (though I'm not sure if this is relevant).

I've tried several workarounds so far: turning the system on in SAFE mode, using DDU to remove drivers and restarting, which resolves the problem. After reinstalling the drivers, the crash reappears during installation, displaying a blank screen. The driver I'm using is 556.12, which seems to be the most stable for my GPU overall.

The main concern remains that aside from this, my GPU is functioning perfectly—no overheating, no crashes, no glitches, and no unusual behavior. Please advise. Thank you 🙏

CPU AMD R5 3600 paired with Cooler Master Hyper 212 Turbo
Motherboard: Asus TUF B550-Plus
RAM: 16GB (8x2) Corsair Vengeance 2333 MHZ (DOCP set to 3000MHZ)
Storage: 1x 1TB Kingston NVME (general gaming and media drive), 1x 256 Team Group For OS, 1x 1TB Western Digital HDD
GPU: ASUS Dual RTX 3060 Ti
Power Supply: Deep cool PL650D (new unit purchased just over a month ago, includes international warranty)
Case: NZXT H5 Flow
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
Display: Two monitors – an older BenQ panel and another view sonic 1080p panel
BIOS Version: 2604
The choice of an older GPU driver stemmed from the belief that the GPU was failing due to driver issues. I opted for a stable, well-reviewed version.
