Hello, I'm experiencing several problems with my computer. My specs include a Ryzen 5900X 3080Ti with 64GB RAM, a standard non-XMP 1TB M.2 SSD, and I recently updated the NVIDIA drivers to version 526.98. After that update, everything began to malfunction. The mouse cursor would start glitching, distorting in size and becoming pixelated, sometimes vanishing entirely. In Notepad++, it would split into two parts. When launching MW2, the screen would turn black instantly, with no signal displayed for about five seconds before returning to a black screen. I repeated this action several times.

In WoW, the game became stuck in an infinite loop displaying a black screen and no signal. After retrying, it returned to the crash error screen. Using Chrome or Edge also caused the same issue—black screens appeared immediately, even when opening them. Firefox is the only one that functions.

I've tried various solutions: reinstalling drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling with older versions, disabling overclock and XMP, turning off fast boot and secure boot, resetting CMOS, changing the DP cable, and switching ports. During these attempts, I encountered blue screens multiple times, sometimes only after entering BIOS. After a successful reset, I could boot but faced a high likelihood of a black screen afterward. Occasionally, I heard beeps when sending input, which appeared to be from American Megatrend indicating an error (beep code: kb.io.edu/d/afzy - 2 short beeps).
