Hello all! Here's the AskUbuntu I made about my question. Please read the responses to others replies as they will most definitely help you: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1135292/...on-gtx-970 (remember to click the 'Show 1 more comment'). All help is much appreciated, this is getting super annoying.

So, that is confusing. Assuming that you can enter a terminal of some kind, please do share the output of "lspci" (without quotes). We'll see what to do next after that. EDIT: So, the GPU is "working" again? Oh brother. Seeing as the latest comment is talking about Xorg configuration stuff (thank the stars for Wayland and AMD), I would suggest trying to make a new user account in a tty (ctrl+alt+f[number]) to see if a fresh config is what you really need. EDIT 2: If you can get to some sort of terminal, try sharing the output of "dmesg -H" and "journalctl -xb", even if by picture. If it's a GPU error, it'll most likely be in dmesg and almost certainly in journalctl, while journalctl will capture most other errors as well, so it might provide us with a clue to use.

The information provided does not fully cover your request. Could you clarify what you're looking for regarding "lspci," "dmesg -H," and "journalctl -xb"?

I noticed the black screen problem. I executed the commands to capture logs and then rebooted. The files are attached for your reference.

So when I connect both monitors to the GPU and power on, everything functions smoothly. However, accessing the GUI causes a login loop, and using Ctrl + Alt + F3 or Ctrl + Alt + F2 results in both screens going dark or losing signal.

Do you have any other computer in the house? If you do, try using ssh to log into your PC remotely to run the command above and copy the files. Here's an article detailing the use of SSH: https://www.wikihow.com/Use-SSH If you don't, you can do something similar from an Android phone, but I'll only get into that if you don't have a computer that you can use. It can work, even on Windows. Also, for when you're making it glitch, look at the time and tell me at what time did certain things happen (look at the clock when it starts looping and then look at the clock again when you try to switch to a tty with ctrl+alt+f[number]). This will help me correlate the messages with timestamps in the logs to occurrences on your computer.

Hello! I have two Macs and one Windows 10 system. I'll start the SSH connection shortly and share the findings here.
