    Monitor goes black / Games crashing when pressing tab and or changing in-game resolution.


    Everytime I click on something or watching something my PC goes blank for about 2 seconds and pops back. Anyhow, my games crash instantly when I change my resolution or tab out and I still haven't found a way to fix it. I've updated my drivers for everything and changed power settings.

  3. Why does my refresh rate change when tabbing into a game from 144hz to 120hz?

    The desktop refresh rate of the monitor (a samsung odyssey g7) is set to 144hz. When I tab into a game it changes from 144hz to 120hz. It seems to only be a fullscreen 1440p issue. 4k fullscreen does not change the refresh rate. neither does 1080p. The active resolution does change when tabbing into a game when it is 1440p 144hz. I have set the active resolution and display resolution of the monitor to 2560x1440 and when I tab into a game the screen goes black and the active resolution changes to 3840x2160 but the desktop resolution stays the same.
