While playing games, my monitors shut down and I can only restore them by restarting the PC. During this process, my GPU fans start up and remain active until the system is fully restarted. I also notice a small red light on my GPU near the power connector. Any assistance would be appreciated? EDIT: I've tested both display ports and HDMI cables, using new and old ones. All drivers are up to date. Specs: Windows 10, Ryzen 5 5000, GeForce RTX 3060, 8GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe.

Can you dumb this down.... I am not a tech wizard. By DDU you mean Display Driver Uninstaller, is there a specific one that is the best or most commonly used?

The Display Driver Uninstaller clears all previous driver files before installing a new one. This is typically used when changing from AMD to Nvidia or for resolving driver issues. DDU is recommended as a starting point for deeper GPU troubleshooting. You can find detailed instructions on YouTube, and the page provides useful information: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/dis...nload.html
