So this just started happening yesterday, I was playing rocket league, was maybe only 5 minutes in, and the screen glitched out and the sound did too and I crashed and it said the display driver crashed and has recovered. I thought it was just an odd occurance, booted rocket league back up and same thing, except this time it was just stuck on an odd colored screen and I had no control and turned off my pc and let it be because it was late last night. Today I turned it on and when I got to desktop the screen was frozen and there was small pixelated glitches all over my screen and I had no mouse or keyboard control. Restarted and this time it was fine, so I figured I would work with my drivers. I used DDU and did a clean uninstall of my drivers. Went to the NVIDIA driver page and installed them and checkmarked the clean install on that installer as well. Im scared to play any game right now, is there a chance I will completely scrap my cards if I attempt to play a game and they fail again? Is there anything I can do right now?
