Upgraded GPU and now black screen
Upgraded from a GTX 1060 to rtx 4060 and then did the obligatory driver installs and now I just get a black screen with audio on my Samsung QLED 65" q70a TV using Steam Link app. The thing is, it worked before on my 1060, but then didn't when I switched it back in to test it. Oddly enough steam Link works fine on my tablet.

Even stranger is that launching the Steam Link app on the TV first THEN on the tablet generates video input on the TV. Only in that order. The picture is pixelated and poor however. If I exit the app on tablet or turn tablet on standby then I lose connection on the TV.

Ive tried:
-rolling back drivers
-changing hardware decoding on/off
-changing resolutions
-making sure big picture mode is not windowed
-turned Nividia GPU Nvfbc capture off

It's acting as if I don't get a video signal unless I have the tablet to host it for me somehow. I just want to play games in TV because I have a bad back and can't at a desk.
