Sometimes, the monitors will randomly mode-change.
To Reproduce
How? I have no idea. Might involve getting an Ampere Altra M128-26 system and put an RTX 5070 into it and run NixOS?

More Info
Driver was working fine last week & up to yesterday, it decided today to get in my way. I've checked the cables on my monitors and they're completely fine. Sometimes the crash will just happen from me not even touching the system.
