Since switching from a 1060 to a 3080 graphics card last week, I've been getting random screen freezes. I have to Ctrl + Alt + Del and restart the client.

I play in window mode and use GINA.

Any ideas?

Ok will try that. Do you have any idea how I would do it though? I have the Geforce experience program installed and that seems to download and update the drivers for me. It says I have the latest ones.

you must uninstall geforce and go to the Nvidia website and NOT download the latest version
since that is the problem version

If you have trouble uninstalling your gpu driver.
Boot into safe mode and run Display Driver Uninstaller
