The problem is solved. Apparently the PCI card had a loose connector, so
I replaced it.
As soon as adjust the resolution it'll be back to normal.
Many thanks to all that answered by request for help.

Not a good sign. :( Did you turn the TV on, and to the correct input, before
turning on the PC? Some TVs don't like being late to the boot. So do some GPUs.
inxi -GSaz, in safe mode, returns- bash: inxi: command not found
If network is working, sudo apt install inxi will install it, but because
Bullseye's inxi is a broken antique, better to do the following as root:
cd /usr/local/bin && wget -O inxi smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi
from:
https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-installation.htm#inxi-manual-install
to get the much improved current version. Inxi -Gaz is the best there is for
providing basic graphics troubleshooting info.
cat for both logs returns: no such file or directory
Bad sign. I never use Wayland, so can't be sure what if any logging it does that
ordinary people can locate. Xorg should have left an old one in either location
if
there is no current one. I think Wayland leaves its stuff in the journal:

Let me pose a hypothetical - Would installing Debian 12 on a different
drive boot. or would I (most likely) muck-up the entire computer?
It's possible to muck up what you have, but if you remove the current drive and
install the different one and Bookworm, it might be your best way forward. If
the
installer can't work either, it would be near certain you've acquired a hardware
problem, hopefully easily resolved with a graphics card swap if you can locate
one
to try without too much trouble. What to look for might depend on what you have
in
there now. NVidia as good at giving people headaches like you have. Intel only
just began (after more than two decades of not) providing discrete graphics
cards.
So hopefully you could get hands on a PCIe AMD card made less than 10 years ago
to
try.
Simply starting the Bookworm installer, if it starts at all, might say a lot.
