Constantly getting black screens in intermittent moments. but mostly when opening my games.

To perform a clean install, you will need an installation media.

You will need to use an installation media. If you don't have one, create one using the Media Creation Tool.

You can create the installation media on an empty USB flash drive with at least 8GB.

Below are instructions for creating installation media on a USB flash drive.

1. Access the link below and click "Download tool now";

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win...

2. Double-click on the downloaded file to run the tool;
3. If prompted by UAC (User Account Control), click on "Yes";
4. Read the terms and click "Accept" if you agree;
5. Select "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC" and click "Next";
6. Uncheck the "Use the recommended options for this PC" box. Then, select the Language, Edition, and Architecture you want, and click "Next".

(Most computers use the "64-bit (x64)" Architecture.)

7. Select "USB flash drive" and click "Next".
8. Connect the USB flash drive you want to use, click the "Refresh drive list" link, select the USB flash drive, and click "Next";

(Note that the files on the USB flash drive will be deleted. Make a backup of the files if necessary.)

9. Wait for the procedure to finish and click "Finish" when the USB flash drive is ready.

If necessary, make a copy of your files to an external storage device or a cloud storage service. A clean install will remove all data stored on the system drive.

Then, access the article below, go to the end of the article, and expand "Clean install" under "Steps to reinstall Windows with media" to see the instructions.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/rei...

In your case, start the computer using the installation media and proceed from step 2.

(You may need to change the BOOT property in the device's BIOS settings. If you don't know how to do this, please tell me the motherboard model.)

Good day. ive tried all other any methods

id like to do a second last resort now and do a clean install of windows

To be honest, I don't have much experience undervolting GPUs either, as I've never found a strong reason to do it. The last time I attempted it was years ago, and I barely remember the proper steps. The main reasons for undervolting are to reduce power consumption or lower temperatures, but that comes at the cost of performance, which may not be ideal.

If you have never changed the power settings on your graphics card, you should not change it. The default settings should work properly.

This method is just a workaround rather than an actual fix, masking an underlying issue that will eventually resurface.

Let's consider a hypothetical scenario: If your issue stems from overheating or a power supply issue, undervolting might seem to resolve it. However, this doesn't actually fix the underlying problem — it merely masks it temporarily.

I personally wouldn't suggest doing this. But if you want, feel free to try it.

If the problem persists, let me know if you want to perform a clean install, and I will share the steps so you can do the procedure.

Regarding the GPU clock behavior you observed, I experience the same on my system. Although the manager sets it to 1485 MHz, I often see it reach 1759 MHz without any issues. This fluctuation is completely normal.

Good day,

Im here to update that I haven't done a clean install yet but i did tried doing an observation test today

What i had done today:

lowered ram speed from 3600mhz to 3200 mhz
Reinstalled drivers 566.36 then clean install (no nvidia stuff) after removing it with DDU
installed msiafterburner without rivatuner (to narrow down overlay issues)
added tdrdelay, tdrddidelay, overlaytestmode on the dwm folders in regedit (to see if its a tdr issue)

disabled gsync

To which this then came into my observation point

while msi afterburner was running, i decided to launch a game on the whim and as usual it black screens into a no display. but before that happened, i was able to see msiafterburner displaying a 1956mhz clock before blacking out. Nvidia control panel system information shows my card running at 1852mhz boost clock. this came to my concern whether the gpu is trying to to give itself more power as it tried going beyond its boost clock rates and this ends up resulting in a power draw issue from the psu as it couldn't immediately provide it resulting in the black screen.

secondarily, my main suspicion about my black screen issues being that is now, reliability monitor no longer logs the kernel event errors and tdr errors and that i saw another community post with that very same issue on the kernel events and then finding a solution in undervolting. link below:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/livekernelevent-141-1b8/eaf80056-89cc-4a6f-b1de-931e8771ee2a

my main concern now is before doing a clean install, should i try undervolting it first? (i have no experience undervolting and do not know what should be the undervolt rates for a 3060 card)

Thanks for the clarifications.

Are there any objections to performing a clean install of Windows?

Clean Installing Windows will remove all data stored on the system. Therefore, you will need to back up your personal files on an external drive or cloud storage service.

I'm considering suggesting you do this because some instability problems don't survive a clean install unless the problem is caused by hardware.
