Windows 10: Black screen during game play and videos.

I recently installed my new GTX 1050 Ti and updated it with all the latest drivers from the Nvidia website but for some reason my monitor keeps black screening whenever I start up a game or go to watch a video on Youtube.

It's not too bad with the videos as it happens for about 1-2 seconds and may only occur a few times before stopping.

But I'm playing Rome Total War right now and the black screening just won't stop. It will either happen once every 10-20 seconds, or spam me completely so I am seeing more black screen than the actual game.

Same thing happens to me tried playing heroes of the storm. Game mess up during game play and gives black screen.

 

Media Files (Videos, Games, etc.) Suddenly Stopped Working...

Everything was working fine on my HP laptop (I don't really remember the model), until one day I opened the game I used to play everyday (FIFA 17), the box opened, but instead of loading the game, there was just a black screen, nothing loaded. I rebooted,
but it did not help. Then I tried to play a movie on VLC, and the same thing happened. It did not play, and just showed a black screen. Then I tried Youtube on Chrome. The Video Buffered, but did not play. It would show me a frame if I jumped onto it, but
the video won't play. It is getting more and more frustrating everyday, any assistance would be highly appreciated.

 

Any sound when this happens ? Did this happen with the other GPU ?

 

There's no extra sound when the black screen happens only the sound of my game or video being played. My old card was a GTX 590 and had no issues with it for 5 years. But recently an issue (code 43) came up where my resolution could only max out at 1600x1200 so I went and bought the 1050.

 

Try reinstalling drivers again.Uninstall Graphics Drivers

Wattage of your Power Supply ? Can be a heat related issue, make sure fans are running on Graphics card.

 

try with a new / shorter HDMI -cable, smells like a datarate issue with a poor quality cable. the issue exists cause youre putting up more video rate from the cards output to the monitor and something wrong with the cable (Digital, so its either hdmi or dp -cable) and cant push out the required datarate. this can happen constantly or randomly like you mentioned.

id bet my 5cents for the cable issue
