Hi,
if even displaying the console login failed, then the hole display system has gone nuts...but since the boot process as such (that is: the bios prompt right after POSTing) is visible, I would say, that there is no physical problem (that is: cable connected to port 2 of the monitor while the monitor is switched to port 1 and such). I would try this: Boot your PC, ssh into the PC and download the according nvidia-drivers directly from NVIDIA of the same version. quickpkg the installed drivers and remove them Check whether /usr/src/linux links to the kernel sources of the kernel version you are booting. Install the NVIDIA-drivers you have downloaded. Reboot. Background: The portage package does not install nvidia-drivers correctly - in my case, X and such works fine but RTX/Optix which is used by Blender was defunc. After installing the original package and masked the one which came with portage everything works fine. Cheers!
