Windows 10: Full Screen applications, specifically games, will almost randomly go black, seemingly...

This is a bit of a weird one to explain, but basically whenever I'm playing something, it will occasionally and without any pattern go black as though it's trying to load my desktop screen again, then immediately open the game back up. When it does this, the game's performance TANKS. What's normally a smooth experience will be choppy as all hell until I close the game entirely and re-open it, but only sometimes.Like I mentioned, there's seemingly no pattern. Sometimes it'll happen after a few minutes, other times a few hours, sometimes not at all. but it definitely does not happen when I'm not

Screen randomly blacks out and current application crashes

While I'm using my pc, the screen randomly blacks out for 4-5 seconds. After than some specific applications close. To be specific, when the screen blacks out, from the apps I use discord and infra space crash (Nothing else does). This problem started happening about when I upgraded to windows 11, and no hardware or pc parts have been changed. I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

 

Computer Randomly Black Screening

Hi William,



Based on the information you’ve provided, there is a possibility of a hardware issue. To check further on the cause, please provide the following information:

• Which game/s usually triggers the issue?
• Have you made any recent changes prior to the issue?

For starters, we suggest checking this support article: Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors.
The said troubleshooter contains a walkthrough in order for us to verify if the issue is within the hardware or the operating system.



Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any updates.

 

Computer randomly has black screen and restarts

Taco this could be software also. Before you get all crazy, do as Erocker suggested. Find out the error in the Event Viewer. Look for the faulting module and the error code itself. Also check the reliability monitor. At the bottom it will have "View all Error Reports". Post a screen of whats in there if anything.

This could be a simple as a bad driver install.

ALSO have you downloaded or installed anything lately? STAY OUT OF THE DAMN BIOS UNTIL WE KNOW THE ERROR! lol. I know you. Baby steps boy, baby steps.
