    How to confirm that black screen originates due to my video card?


    ASUS Z97-A with i5-4460 @ 3.2ghz. Win10 (latest Insider build). AMD R7-200 video card.
    Unpredictably, my monitor goes black except for a brief message that there is no HDMI. Usually a cold boot is required to restart, then the system runs in a normal fashion.
    The Event Viewer doesn't show any related events. System fans and power continue to run when the screen goes black. I presume it's the video card, but before I throw a couple of hundred dollars at the problem, I'd like to know how to check if it might be something else.
    Also...what mid-range cards do you folks like for desktop and mid-range (non-twitch?) gaming? I play a lot of Witcher 3 for example-- and the video card performs adequately.
    Thanks very much.

    :)

    Connected Laptop to TV - Error message "video tdr failure" occur

    Original Title: Video tdr Failure

    every time I try to connect my laptop to my tv through hdmi cable my screen goes black it says disk driver failed and responded again and then the screen goes blue and says video tdr failure and the computer shuts down. Does anyone know how I might fix this?

    How to confirm that black screen originates due to my video card?

    You could remove the card and see if the graphics work with the GPU from the processor.
