GPU issues (black screen) occur when turned on or during driver downloads.
I built a new PC recently and it started functioning well at first, handling Cyberpunk in 1440p with smooth performance. After some days, the game crashed repeatedly, making it impossible to use the desktop. After a reboot, launching the game failed completely, leading me to suspect a driver problem. Clearing and reinstalling drivers helped temporarily, but the GPU would still freeze at full fan speed. I reinstalled Windows and tried downloading GPU drivers, which brought the issue back. I entered Safe Mode, removed drivers, but the Microsoft basic adapter kept loading. I checked for file errors, verified connections, updated BIOS, and ran multiple troubleshooting steps. Despite these efforts, the GPU keeps crashing—showing a black screen or maximum fan speed whenever I try to enable or install drivers. Any thoughts on whether it might be dead?
