TL;DR: Screen going black from time to time shutting all programs using GPU, also PC crashing and restarting after some running something like games after a x amount of time. Tried previous drivers which crash less often but drop fps to 10-20 and to counter it i need to up the core clock.
So this is a very weird and complicated problem I have now for a very long time. Here's the deal:
1 year ago, I booted up my PC started up a game and noticed the FPS dropped to around 10-20 from the usual 120, and then after Installing different drivers the screen started to go black for a second (not the monitor turning off). After a long time of tryint to figure out what it is I realized it had to be my GPU or drivers. So at that time I had the newest drivers so I deleted them and installed an older version (after experimenting and installing a bunch of versions, nvidias 390 worked best). And by worked best I mean there would be periods where everything worked perfectly.
Interesting thing to note here is that when the FPS would drop the GPU usage would drop to around 50-60% or sometimes even 0%, and then I realized that by resetting the core clock and raising it by 10-20 and applying the FPS would go back to normal and everything would work fine, until it happened again. Also an interesting thing is that video playback (especially youtube, I would get massive pixelated distortions, where it would seem that the frame would freeze and stay but the audio would go on, and then that frozen frame would mesh with the newer frames) So with driver 390 I would get dry patches where everything worked fine and fps drops here and there, BUT i would also get system freezes where the only thing left to do is to restart the PC. So I decided to install the newest driver AGAIN (430 I think?), but now I get random black screens that shut down any programs using my GPU, and also system crashes. I just don't know what to do anymore.
Specs:
Windows 10 64bit
Palit Nvidia GeForce Gtx 1060 6gb
AMD Ryzen 5 1400
16gb (pretty sure its ddr4)
