Turn off screen after 5 minutes, never turns back on (black screen).

So I've tried both Gnome and KDE now and the same issue appears on both.
I've got an RTX3080 graphics card

Attached screenshot of my power settings, basically I've set it to turn off my screen when the computer is locked for 1 minute.

What I expect to happen is if I move my mouse or use the keyboard, the screen should turn back on.
But it doesn't..

Sleep is disabled, so that doesn't really come into play here.

If I powercycle the screen on Gnome, it comes back online.
On KDE however, it seems the screen is turned off again immediately. Even the menu won't work.
My monitor is a samsung g9
