Windows 10: Black screen death a few minutes after working normally

I've looked at other threads regarding the black-screen issue but my problem seems a little different.

Since I installed Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion laptop it boots up OK and I can get as far as my desktop. The taskbar settles in nicely and all seems fine.
But if I open any application and work on it for a few minutes the taskbar and everything else suddenly disappears. I generally can't close whatever programme I'm in but if I do manage to then instead of a desktop I have a blank black screen. Moving the cursor around is possible but there is literally nothing to open.
My only option is to ctrl/alt/delete for Task Manager and then shut down or restart. On restart, the same thing happens. It starts, I get to the desktop, everything looks normal, I open something then black-screen-death.

I am not using two screens.
Anyone know a fix?
Thanks

Windows 10 update problems!! Black screen with white rotating dots

My Dell PC automatically updated the other night. Upon updating it rebooted my PC. It seem to be taking a little longer than normal, so I left it alone for a while. Upon returning I when to check on the update and all I had was a blank black screen, but
my mouse pointer was working. After a few minutes I turned off the PC and started the power up. During reboot I got a black screen with a blue windows 10 logo, but after a few minutes the screen went black and all that was showing was white rotating dots.
It appeared to be loading, but after several minutes the screen goes black and nothing happens. How do I get into my PC to fix the problem? What steps can I take to remedy this issue?

 

Nokia Asha 306

I have a problem with my Nokia Asha 306. He has three black icon. If you press this icon black, you get a black screen after a few minutes get the phone normally.

What can I do for that black icon to get away?

 

I'm just taking a guess here but I doubt its the cause . It sound like you have a setting that is set to turn off. Do things again but this time count the minutes that goes by before the black screen come on and afterwards restart the computer and do it again , notice whether the same minutes that goes by is the same from the first time . This way it would really sound like a setting is set at the possible cause . I will search further with your problem and see if anyone else might have the same issues and fix. Have a look at the sites below and see if that will help ... Fast boot up problems
