Windows 10: Black Screen when playing games - W10Pro

Hello,

So I have been getting than issue where my screen goes black after playing games and the only way to restore it's state is by pressing power button and then restarting the system. This issue started after the April 2018 big Update.

I have uninstall and reinstall my GPU Drivers and the issue is still there.

I formatted my SSD and resintalled the OS using the en_windows_10_consumer_

I have done most of suggested steps from different forums and websites and still have the issue so I am coming here in case there is something I might be missing to try .. otherwise going back to Windows 7.

This is totally frustrating ><

My PC Specs are the following:

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 430M @ 2.27GHz 56 °C
Arrandale 32nm Technology
RAM

Any idea or thoughts on what to do next?

Black Screens when playing games

Hello, my pc has black screens when playing games. I already tried to fix that by sfc, dism, disk repair... all of that didn't help. I have quad core q8200 and it work great but in the past i had gt 430(not good for playing games of 2007-2015) so i bought
gtx 9800 and it's perfrect for games of 2007-2015, my fps i high with no lags. when i replaced the gt 430 with gtx 9800 my black screens disappeared but now past something like 3 month and the black screens came back!! Before i replaced the gt 430 with gtx
9800, i tried to play with my original gpu(gt 210 also bad for games), the black screens disappeared but instead of that i had freezes that coming after 2 hours of playing. the black screen at the start when you put the gpu disappear but they come after 3
month and rarely(after 2 hours of playing) but after a week the come less rarely(20-30 minutes) and after one more week, they come when you start the game. They only disappear if you put out the gpu and put it in again(I think so.), but i can't do every 3
month, it's will become very annoying. And replacing the psu won't work. it's happened with all games with no exclude. Please help me!!!
