GPU/ Video issues (I think)

[Hhackett16]

When playing games (for the most part only games) my monitors will turn off and the only way to get them back on is turn restart my PC, also when this tends to happen my GPU fans kick on and will stay on until restarting the PC. I also have a small redlight on my GPU almost where the plug is. Any help? 

 

EDIT: I have tried both display ports and HDMI cords. New and olds ones. All drivers are updated. 

 

SPECS- Windows 10

Ryzen 5 5000

Geforce RTX 3060

8gb DDR4

1TB PCIe

Try to use DDU and reinstall the GPU drivers completely, could definitely be some driver issues messing up.

Can you dumb this down.... I am not a tech wizard. By DDU you mean Display Driver Uninstaller, is there a specific one that is the best or most commonly used?

That is correct.  Display Driver Uninstaller will remove all files from previous drivers and then you can do a fresh driver install, this is mainly done when switching from AMD to Nvidia or the other way but it can be helpful if some drivers act up. DDU is always a good place to start before going into more heavy diagnosis related to GPU.
There are a few videos on youtube on how to do this, its quite a simple process.
Please read the page as well.
