Question So my PC keeps crashing and today now reboots with a green display instead of black. Is the GPU spent?

PC is usually lightly used. I've been having a lot of issues since getting Alan Wake 2 in October last year.

It seems to be the Nvidia driver updates that would cause me bother, where the installs would crash so I had to dial back to older version. But this didn't stop with random crashes if the PC.

I then updated last week to the latest Nvidia driver after upgrading all drivers on the PC and a clean windows install.

But the PC is crashing consistently again after the very latest Nvidia driver update this week and I'm quite fed up of this now.

I can only determine now that either the PSU is faulty again or the GPU has been spent, or I've missed something that's glaringly obvious to someone here.

The PC crashed today but with a noticeable difference, I got a green display instead of black.

Having gone back on now the green display is gone but I'm stuck in a loop now unable to actually get into windows so might need to reinstall it again.

I'm not that PC tech savvy so I'm at a loss with what to do

Has anyone here got any advice or can confirm if a solid green display, not to be confused with GSOD, is usually a GPU issue than a PSU issue?

Got PC working today. Not sure how.

Seen a error on reliability history a week ago, live kernal error 144 Param 1 3003 which I've found can be a GPU driver issue.

Haven't used the clean install with DDU before so after a read made a start.

Booted manually into safe mode. Opened DDU, selected clean uninstall and restart. Now I can't get into windows. Get BSOD, followed by a screen saying unable to start PC properly after multiple times giving me 4 options.

Had to come off PC for now.

Anyone got links or advice for how to fix this issue?

I don't have a previous recovery point saved.
