Black Screen (source and preview) when using GPU (CUDA) [NVidia RTX 3070]

Greetings to the community (Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 - latest version)

Specs:
Ryzen 9 5950x
RTX 3070
128 GB RAM
SSD
MB: GIGABYTE AUROS MASTER X570 

Sequence settings: (most often use for me both on my mac and pc)


ISSUE: 
While working in premiere pro, suddenly without any reason the preview screen goes black (audio still works) in the both timeline and preview screen.
In the project settings if I change the render from CUDA to Software it works (really slow but preview comes back)

When I restart the application, it works once again for a while until it goes black again and it's getting really frustrating already.

All nvidia graphics are with latest updates
Windows is with latest updates

Tried:
Checked already some other old posts from the community with offering small changes in the nvidia settings which i tried with no luck.

Would be happy if somebody has any idea on the issue.

Thank you in advance!




Correct answer dimitardrew

Hey team. I was with the studio driver from Nvidia via the application but I uninstalled everything and installed it only as an exe file and for now I do not have anny issues so far!

On the note, the issue occured mainly when I was colorgrading and adding a few lumetri color adjustment layers  with imported LUTS .

There's a good chance you're using Nvidia's 'game-ready' drivers. If so, go to their site for their driver support, and download/install the Studio driver. Do a "clean install", don't install the "Geforce Experience" or whatever it's called thing.
