Getting whole PC freeze and black screen if using Steam overlay while preparation for a match

[Tea Garden]

I get a PC freeze and a black screen when I open Steam overlay, for example to view my teammates profile during the preparation for a match. I always do this and this an issue has never happened, I am really confused because it forces me to reboot the PC using the button on the PC case. In the Event Log I see a lot of "nvlddmkm" errors when this happens. All other games work fine. Temperatures are good, OCCT tests pass without any errors. This started happening recently.

Someone have same issue?

Update:

There is no need to do DDU, this issue is not related to drivers, because people with different driver versions also talked about it. This issue is related to the latest Steam update on May 20, after that something broke. And yes, it is not tied to one CS2, it can happen with all games, so I highly recommend disabling the Steam overlay. Also, for some reason, the Discord overlay can save from this if it is enabled (possibly the Nvidia overlay too), I can't reproduce this issue while using the new Discord overlay.

My thoughts are that something conflicts with Windows 11, because in the latest stable versions of Windows 11 there are some problems with MPO (MultiPlane Overlay). I have already reported this issue to Steam support.

We need to wait for a fix from Valve.

You should temporarily disable overlay. When overlay is disabled this will cause links to open in your regular steam instead which you can then access via Alt+Tab or Windows key and clicking steam. Report this issue to steam support.

Hi, got the same problem since around 4 days.
Getting blackscreen only on closing the Steam Overlay (not always). Can’t do anything.
Win+D, Win+L, CTRL+ALT+DEL nothing working.
monitors loosing signal, but I hear my friends and can talk to my friends in TeamSpeak.
Only hard power off (reboot) works

I reported this issue to Steam Support but got an automated answer :(

By the way, steps to reproduce: 1) make sure Discord overlay is off (or Nvidia overlay i guess needs to be disabled too), for some reason, while using Discord overlay the issue fades away; 2) Join a competitive game and interact with steam overlay. It can randomly freeze the PC. 3) Enjoy black screen

this is not an exclusive problem to CS2. i had this issue now in TF2, CS2, fallout 76, war thunder... every time my steam overlay was opened
