So i wanted to update my geforce drivers, but i kept getting the message "Could not connect to nvidia", so i decided to manually uninstall the drivers from control panel. I restarted my pc and everything was running well, and then I installed new drivers for my graphics card through the nvidia website manually and hopped in game, and noticed that about 30 mins in game, my pc locked up. The same image was displayed on the monitor of the games, sometimes but rarely, there is an audio loop when the lockup happens. I cant use Alt + F4, task manager or any of the sort and when it locks up i noticed my pc gradually becoming quieter.

Ive tried DDu'ing , changing out perifperals, installing new and the latest drivers, but the problem still persists.
This occurs with any high spec pc game.
And i also know for a fact it isnt my parts overheating because my cpu doesn't go over 79 degrees and my gpu doesn't go over 70 when playing.
