Question Monitor screens go black when gaming, but I can still hear Discord and background sounds ?

When I play certain games like Dark and Darker, Tarkov, or even DOTA 2. At some point my monitors will go black, but I can still hear sound from my discord. I have to do a hard reset, this has been happening to me every since I sent my old card off to get it fixed and Nvidia gave me a refurbished one.

MBD: ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4
GPU: Asus RTX 3060 Ti
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K
PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series 750W 80 Plus Gold

Things I've tried,

  1. reformatting computer, reinstalled nvidia drivers
  2. reseated the graphics card
I have a hwinfo64 log, in which the final minute records the black screen crash as well. I don't see the gpu temps hitting max throttle levels, maybe someone else can tell me what is wrong?

This is the hwinfo log, let me know if I need to upload the csv through another method,

This second log the issue occurs again within 10 minutes of restarting computer. Again while trying to play Dark and Darker

Another HWinfo65 LOG, except this time it is with the GPU memory underclocked -500
