Hi, sorry for any post errors. I signed up just now to ask for support from the community following research on my video card vbios.
I don't see the POST, it gives 1 long beep and 2 short beeps, until the windows 10 login screen loads. My friend showed the complete opposite, BIOS accessible and windows not accessible.
I'm connected via DP and I'm also using HDMI for the soundbar (it's unrelated to the issues reported). Removing the GPU, I again entered the BIOS. I disabled the integrated and still the same situation occurs.

Components:
MOBO: X570S TORPEDO MAX
CPU: AMD 5700G (iGPU)
RAM: G.SKILL F4-4400C19-16GTZR
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 ARMOR 3G V1 (86.06.11.00.96)

Have you tried doing it using HDMI instead?
What monitor are you connected to?

There are no updates. I can try manually flashing the bios hoping it's corrupted for whatever reason. I don't know where to download the firmware though.

If it says no update your card should already have the patch
So no don't try to do a Vbios Flash as that may brick it completely
Some GPU only output to one DP on Boot try different DisplayPort out or HDMI

I updated the bios with the version of this page (https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/200731/200731).

Now all DP and HDMI ports work, same artifacts and errors do not appear. Still detect error on startup with 1 long and 2 short beeps, same as before. In the event of a restart, the errors do not recur. So it only beep on first start.

I would like to do a more in-depth check and try to solve it, could it be some component that needs to be replaced?

Hi,
after a few days the artifacts diminished and the blocks apparently disappeared, until today. I also encountered artifacts (quick blue screen) when switching apps via Alt+Tab.
Playing Arma 3, a little while ago, I encountered the d3d error - dxgi_error_device_removed error, preceded by a frozen screen with artifacts of different colors for a few seconds.
I am in favor of recycling and being out of warranty I obviously take responsibility for any malfunctions or worse.
I've already switched thermal paste and thermal pads, the artifacts have decreased but not disappeared. The situation improved later following the bios change that I reported above. But today there are some problems as mentioned above.
Do you have any advice about it?
Thank you in advance for any support and time.

Sounds like the card is on the way out
The cost of repairs will likely exceed the cost of a new card as you will need to replace the faulty V-Ram chip or chips from an identical donor card or replace all chips with new ones. and that take specialised equipment ball grid stencils for chips as well as a heating plate and hot air gun or an Infrared BGA solder reballing station

Many thanks for your reply, I just bought into a 4060 Ti Gaming x Trio right now LoL

Either way I'm still going to try and fix it and dabble in it. Any indication is welcome. I'll start to inform myself, very kind!If I have questions will I be able to answer them again?
I request if possible the most updated version of the bios so that I can reflash safely knowing that the source is known. Thank you in advance.
