  1. Discord Overlay causes BLACK SCREEN


    So I was playing games on my PC and wanted to check on discord messages so I press the Overlay key and it caused a Black Screen , This never happened and my screen is Blacked out. I Tried restarting the PC and the window logo on the startup is gone. the Window booted properly while everything is in Black screen. I know it booted properly because The sound still working, like I can hear my friend chatting in the Discord room but my screen is black.The monitor detects the hdmi and the USB connects ,RGB all on. So in conclusion, after I enabled discord game Overlay the screen turned Black and after lots of restart it still is Black , can enter safe mode but can't see anything Please help me, Thanks ❤️

    Black flashing screen when using discord and FFXIV

    l recently purchased a second hand laptop from a friend who didnt have the time to use it, generally my experiences have been pretty good but l ran into a weird issue which l have asked about elsewhere but not getting much feedback so came here to see if l have any luck.

    basically l enjoy playing an online MMO (Final Fantasy XIV) now generally l have no issues whatsoever, but twice now when l have dropped on to discord to chat with friends who l play the game with lve ran into a strange issue where my screen goes black and sort of flashes black, the common thread between both times its happened is that the first time l was asked to check if a friends twitch stream was working (l tried playing through the embedded video in discord) and the second time when l visited a room when a discord bot was playing music in the background (the bot links to youtube videos) which l tend to resolve by opening and closing the lid a couple of times then rebooting otherwise it happens again.

    l did some random searches that suggested this could be down to GPU elevations of me switching between discord and the game (eg discord using the laptops integrated GPU and FFXIV using the Nvidia) and it not liking it so l added discord to the settings in the nvida control panel, however it happened again (the second instance was the bot streaming music on discord voice channel) so lm kind of left at a loss as to what could be causing it the only other thing l can think of is Bitdefender has some mic protection option but that doesnt require the GPU lm stumped (fyi l havent noticed this issue on other games, though l should note l havent had the chance to chat on discord and play other games at the same time yet).

    has anyone run into this issue or can someone please advice how l can resolve this problem so l can chat and game at the same time without my screen flashing black etc any help would be greatly appreciated.

    (should note that this is in related to a HP 15-CX0513NA gaming laptop)
