Hmm that is interesting, but I reinstalled nvidia driver since these updates with DDU.This is what Google AI overview says, for whatever that's worth
GPU losing signal
- Thread starter metaton
- Start date
I do wonder if there's still an issue. There's nothing dodgy in the add/remove programs window?
How many of those apps you mentioned can be disabled temporarily (at system start-up)? Most of them have an option somewhere, I'd imagine. Though, that doesn't stop services starting.

Since you are using the Hyte Y70, your GPU is vertically mounted using a PCIe riser cable. Riser cables are notorious for causing exactly what you are describing. A cold system might have slight physical contraction that affects the pins, or the motherboard might be failing to negotiate the PCIe 5.0/4.0 link speed on a cold boot.
The Fix: Pull the motherboard out of the case (or carefully re-orient things) and plug the RTX 5090 directly into the motherboard’s top PCIe slot, bypassing the riser cable entirely. If the issue disappears, your Hyte riser cable is faulty or struggling with the 5090's bandwidth.
Temporary Bios Tweak: Go into your MSI BIOS and manually change the PCIe slot configuration from "Auto" or "Gen 5" to "Gen 4". This reduces signaling strain and often fixes riser issues.

I went back to that day when the errors started I am not sure if it related but I had bunc of errors for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm -then asus card got swapped in and these errors went away with the new card. Not the gpu signal lost stuff though.
I was thinking the riser could be the problem. Taking out the mobo would be quite a job and as I can see I cant really fit the gpu in because of the back panel. I will try the bios setting, worse case scenario I can order a new riser from hyte and test it with that. Or do a windows reinstall. Or both.
