Initially, I should note that English isn’t my primary language and I apologize if any spelling errors occur. As stated in the title, I’m experiencing problems with the Nvidia GPU drivers. My friend and I recently assembled a new PC and set up Windows 11 on a M.2 SSD. So far everything appears normal. We applied all the necessary Windows 11 updates for a clean installation. Then we attempted to install the RTX 3060ti driver, but during setup the system restarts repeatedly and the screen flickers black. Windows attempts to boot but fails… This has happened five times now, locking us into the Windows 11 recovery mode. I’m uncertain about the root cause. Probably related to the GPU. It seems to occur only after updating the latest Nvidia driver—both with and without the Nvidia Experience. System specifications: CPU – Ryzen 5700x, GPU – KFA 2 RTX 3060ti, RAM – 16GB DDR4-3600, Power supply – Bequiet Straight Power 11, 650W, SSD – 2TB, Adata XPG Gaming S70, PCIe 4.0, MSI B550 Tomahawk.

Consider removing the SSD and attempting a fresh installation of Windows. Errors can occur occasionally, so the best approach is to retry. Should reinstallation fail, it may indicate a defective part. Additional testing will help identify the issue.

Ty here for the response. I’ve already tested each part on a different machine, and it’s functioning smoothly. Could be Windows causing issues.
