Hi, all. I'd really appreciate some insight here as I've been searching Reddit for 2 days and had no luck.

Specs:
Radeon RX 7800 XT
Ryzen 5 5600X
32 GB RAM 3200Mhz

Issue:
(This has never happened with any other game before) I've been playing Spider-Man 2 on my pc for the past few days just fine. Two days ago, I was playing as usual and suddenly my monitors turned black and my fans went crazy loud. I had to hard restart the PC. When I turned it back on, one of my monitors wasn't being detected at all. I noticed that my drivers had become corrupted or uninstalled, or something weird had happened because it wasn't letting me open games, saying I had no drivers or the wrong drivers installed. I had to completely unintall the AMD software and reinstall it all again.
To be clear, the game isn’t crashing because I can still hear it, but it seems to be messing up my drivers and thus turning my monitors off.

The event viewer shows these as the two relevant events:
