  1. Intermittent Black Screen when Cursor Moves


    All three monitors go to “black”, and the cursor continues to move without touching the mouse. I suspect I've been hacked. I have run multiple virus and malware scans that have detected nothing. I've recently updated my graphics driver. So far, I've run Windows update, createda backup, changed multiple passwords and set a recovery point. If this is a malicious attack, what steps should I take to eliminate the risk. What can I do to "start clean" without losing personal data?

    :)

    Intermittent Black Screen when Cursor Moves

    Hello, I updated my computer HP SPECTRE to Windows 11. With the latest update (within the last month), if the computer goes to sleep, when I log back in, if I move the mouse the screen will go black, then as I move the mouse again will show normal, and it's an endless cycle of intermittent black screen until I restart it, then the issue goes away.

    I tried this solution but unfortunately it didn't work

    Redirecting

    Can anyone please help?

    How to permanently fix intermittant black screen caused when moving cursor?

    I found the fix for the exact problem I have here in the forums, and it works, sort of.

    Redirecting. It works fantastic to stop the screen from going blank while moving the cursor across objects on the screen. The only problem is that it doesn't permanently fix the issue. It works for as long as the laptop is powered on, but after the laptop is shutdown and booted up again the issue returns, forcing me to use the CMD shutdown/s/f and restarting to fix it again. Is there a way to permanently put a stop to this issue. Thanks for all the help.

    Random black screen moving the cursor

    Hi.

    I have a problem I hope someone can help me out with.

    My Asus computer randomly started to get black screen this happens when I for an example sit on facebook and maybe play some game.

    After like 10 minutes a spot on the screen starts to turn black and when I move the cursor around its kinda "painting" the rest of the screen and it will all go black. I can let it stay for hours and it wont come back.

    I have to manually kill the computer by pushing the turn on button for a few seconds.

    Any suggestions ? please
