I'm using Windows 11 with five monitors.
Four are linked to Nvidia 4070, one to i-gpu i7-14700k.
Windows 11 desktop setup on ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard.
Nvidia driver 552.22 installed, power supply is adequate.
All monitor cables are connected without issues.
This problem has occurred several times recently. My four monitors tied to the 4070 suddenly lose signal and become unresponsive, as if they're disconnected. The single i-gpu monitor stays active but after a short time the whole system restarts.
Additionally, upon logging in via Windows, my desktop background turns completely black for 2–5 minutes before the set display appears again.
I planned to uninstall the Nvidia driver and reinstall Studio version Nvidia 576.80, but I can't proceed when booting in safe mode. When the blue screen with four menu options appears, navigation is impossible; the mouse and keyboard stop working.
Recent crashes indicate possible instability—what further steps could help resolve this? Any suggestions on troubleshooting or alternative solutions?

win RE fails in unpatched versions of windows 11
article
clean install guide
That's half the fight
Don’t know about multi-monitor setups. Heard there’s limited support for multi-monitor on Win 11. I have just one monitor and it works fine.

Reference details such as make, model, wattage, age, and condition are required (original to build, new, used, refurbished).
Check Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, or events around the blackout times.

Attached are two pictures of the bug check and critical error log from October 30th. I'm using NVDA 576.80 with my GPU. My PSU is an ASUS TUF Gaming 1000w 80+Gold ATX.

I encountered a problem this morning as well. Error logs are attached. Could you provide more details from the logs or expand on what you observed?

Please review the provided link and verify your system settings. Assess whether the suggested solution fits your case. Even if not, the resource could point you toward additional causes and assist in further troubleshooting, potentially uncovering other effective remedies. My general guideline is that a rising frequency of errors and diverse error types often indicate a struggling or failing power supply unit. Many such issues trigger a chain reaction, leading to further complications. Examine the timeline of those e2fnexpress errors closely.

The link addresses an Ethernet problem. You mentioned you're not experiencing one. Did you mean to ask about something else?

There can be one problem that leads to or hides another issue. A chain reaction of causes and outcomes.
As I see it, the warnings suggest something is wrong with e2fnexpress.
From the provided link: "Fix For Intel i225-V Ethernet Controller Dropping Connections with Event ID 27 e2fnexpress"
The link might be useful either directly or indirectly – not confirmed yet. It serves as a starting point.
It could help narrow down possible causes and identify a likely suspect.

The Ethernet article correction didn't resolve the problem. I attempted several fixes: re-seating the graphics card, updating the BIOS, and updating the GPU version. Still facing the same issues. What should I try next?
