Hey! Your issue sounds unusual. Over the past six months you’ve mostly relied on your TV as a monitor, using an HDMI cable without any problems. Suddenly it stopped working with fullscreen games. After restarting your PC, you couldn’t see the login screen or any other display, but you could still access the BIOS. It doesn’t seem like the cable is the issue, since other monitors and gaming consoles work fine. The problem appears to be between your PC and TV. You’ve tried several fixes—lowering resolution, cleaning the PC, forcing PCIe mode, changing NVIDIA settings, entering safe mode—but nothing resolved it. Starting in safe mode helped temporarily. Forcing integrated graphics instead of the GPU didn’t help either. Gaming on a monitor feels different from watching movies on TV. I’m using Windows 10 and can provide more details about your PC components or monitors if you’d like. Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated!

This abrupt shift typically connects to a system update. Because it functions in Safe Mode, it hints at a conflict or modification involving display drivers and Windows patches. If this bothers you, testing alternative driver versions makes sense.
