Windows 10: Black screen after exiting games then recovers

Hi All,

Started having the following issue yesterday, every time i would quit out of a game both of my monitors would go blank stay like it for a minute or so then recover

I uninstalled my GPU drivers with DDU but issue was still on-going i have since reinstalled a fresh copy of windows and the issue is still on going.

The only error i can find in Event viewer is (Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer

\Device\Video3

0a97(2a64) 00000000 00000000)

I know the system has not fully crashed as i can see my stream deck CPU usage percentage ticking away.

I have recently added a second monitor to my setup which is 144hz Freesync monitor while my main monitor is a Ultrawide GSYNC monitor could this be causing the issue?

System Specs

CPU - I9-9900K

Motherboard - MSI Carbon z390 pro

RAM Corsair RGB 32GB 3200mhz

GPU - MSI 1080ti Trio

Main Monitor - Alienware AW3418DW

Second Monitor - Acer Nitro VG270UPbmiipx 27 inch WQHD Gaming Monitor, (IPS Panel, FreeSync, 144Hz

Youtube link to video i took of it happening

Black screen after exiting games

Hi all,

Ever since I installed the Windows 10 Anniversary edition update a few weeks ago, I've been having a weird display issue.

Every time I finishing playing a game, upon exiting back to Windows my desktop is completely black. After some trial and error I've found that disconnecting the HDMI cable from my monitor for a couple of seconds and then plugging it back in results in the correct display.

I've done some Googling and it's been suggested that Windows may be showing me a "ghost display"; that is, a display that it thinks exists, but actually doesn't.

However, I don't believe that is my issue, as in advanced Display Settings, no second monitor is displayed, and one is not detected when I click "Detect". In addition, the Intel HD Graphics application does not show/detect any non-existent device.

It was also suggested that my D-Sub connector may be faulty and thinking that there is a second display when there is not, but connecting a second screen via that port and then playing/exiting a game results in the same issue.

I'm currently at a loss as to what the issue could be, so if anyone has any hints/tips as to what my next steps should be (or, of course, the answer), I'd be grateful for your assistance.

Thanks,
David

 

white screen after exiting game

Hi Alex,

Let us isolate your concern to help us determine what's causing the white screen after you exit the game. Please answer the following questions:

• Are there any recent changes or updates made on your laptop?
• Did you run the World of Tanks game on the same laptop where you encountered the white screen after exiting the World of Warships?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far aside from restarting the laptop?

We'll wait for your response.

 

Exiting Games Results in a Black Screen, forcing hard reset.


Hey guys, lately my windows 10 pro/i7 4770/16 GB DDR3/EVGA GTX 1070 has trouble exiting games. Not every game, but i just finished off FEAR (1, long time getting to it, my list of shame is extensive), and when i exited it all there was was a black screen. It happens to some games but not others

:/ My monitor is a XB271HU (acer predator)connected via Display port, and I have a Samsung 4k TV plugged into the HDMI slot. The problem exists when theres only one display plugged in though, as Ive tried some basic troubleshooting like removing monitors, updating graphic drivers, etc.

When the black screen is up, Keyboard presses do nothing, and there's no mouse movement. I have to either press the restart button or hold the power button *Sad

Any ideas?
