Question I'm wondering if GPU is dying or if NVIDIA driver update is the problem ?

[Crimsonblood7]

So 2 days ago I installed the latest driver update from nvidia which is version 545.84
Since then ive been having odd issues, when i watch youtube artifacts would appear on the screen until i clicked just about anywhere on the screen. I have never had this problem with any computers in the past aside from moving to the previous nvidia driver which will happen shortly after this post ive already tried a few experiments and noticed just about every game i play at a random point each time the screen will freeze. I have listed my pc's specs below:

Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700F 2.10 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB of 3200mhz ram
Windows 11
RTX 3060 12.0 GB of VRAM
Display: HP2211x monitor

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:

SSD/HDD:
GPU:

Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Problem with this driver, not the first time drivers cause problems. Best not update unless totally necessary. DDU or custom clean install another (older) Geforce driver.
