Black Screen hard lock my PC during gameplay.

After I've finished the first race in story mode the game went black screening on me hard locking my whole pc, and this problem kept happening during gameplay, while loading menus, and few moments after starting the game.

I'm assuming it's crashing my GPU since my other screens goes black too and this happened in fullscreen/windowed/borderless. The keyboard works since I'm able to turn on/off caps but alt tab/enter, alt+win+ctrl+shift+b, ctrl+shift+esc nothing works all the screen stay black with no signal forcing me to restart the pc through the physical button.

Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Unplug and plugging back the physical cable from the gpu.
  • Leaving only ONE (main) screen plugged in.
  • Fps lock to 60 just in case it was related to my 144hz monitor.
  • Running the game as admin and disabling fullscreen optimization.
  • Forcing vsync on through nvidia's control panel.
  • Deleting the "PcDx12" within cache folders in both documents and game's directory.
  • DDUing and reinstalling clean my graphics drivers.
  • Lowering all graphics to the minimum.
  • Checking game's integrity and reinstalling the game.

And that's it, those were all the "solutions" I found online and nothing worked, anyone around here have any more ideas? 

Here are my full PC specs:

  • Windows 10 (full version up to date)
  • EVGA Rtx 3070.
  • 32gb ddr4 3600mhz.
  • Motherboard Asus prime z490-A (BIOS up to date)
  • Intel i7 10700k. 
  • PSU Seasonic 650w 80+ gold.
  • Game installed on an M2 nvme. 
  • STEAM version of the game.

If you need any more info please do ask, atm I pretty much gave up trying to run the game coming here is my last ditch effort if I can't get a solution in here the game will be just dusting up until I get a whole pc upgrade and I may try again then... but that would be a shame I was liking the game (the little I got to play) so anyway thanks in advance to anyone who took their time to read and may want to try to help me!
