DDU remove all drivers and clean install drivers. Other than that, check your display settings, monitor and profile in case it's setting itself to out of freq range. PSU might also be a problem, old or faulty, if suddenly not able to provide enough power to the gpu (Which you also need to keep in mind when upgrading and still fails to run...)
currently running on seasonic 750w gold. Can’t remember the exact model thought. Shall keep in mind your advice. Thank you.

Yea. Just to confirm that as i'm also on a 750w PSU. If it works on his then i do not need to change mine.
if u running default frequency without overclocking, 750W is more than enuff for ur whole system.
I only using 550W PSU for my i7 with 3060Ti. So far so good.

Recently my GPU (MSI 1080TI gaming X) went kaput. Monitor will blank when game is loaded up or midway through gaming, background sound still can be heard though. No issue when doing other stuffs like surfing etc. Dont intend to change the whole rig so probably will change my just my GPU to 3070Ti and my CPU to 2nd hand 8700K, enough to last a few more years?
Current rig : 8500K Z370mb + 16G RAM + 750w PSU on 34 ultrawide 1440p monitor
CPU will bottleneck the GPU.

CPU will bottleneck the GPU.
I know. Got a 2nd hand 8700k to replace my 8600K. replaced my 1080ti with a MSI 4070 TI gaming x, now everything is running smoothly. OW2 used to be ard 80 degree running at mid setting, now running ultra at ard 60 degree. Very cool card.:D

Bet CPU will not bottleneck GPU for Cyberpunk 1440p Ultra RT though ... 😜
