    Monitors go black but computer remains on


    I have just had a problem where both my monitors went black all of a sudden, (this is not a cable/connection issue) I have been having similar problems recently where I would get display driver driver crashes where my monitors would go off but then come back on, this time they remained off and I was forced to hit the restart button to reboot my PC.


    Checking reliability manager I found this error timestamped at the time my monitors went to black:


    Source


    Summary

    Problem Event Name: LiveKernelEvent
    Code: 141
    Parameter 1: ffffe001da9cb4c0
    Parameter 2: fffff8011e9ee5a4


    If anyone can help me understand this error it would be greatly appreciated.


    thanks,

    :)

    Alt + Tab = Monitor goes into standby/power saving mode.

    Does you monitor actually go into Stand-By mode, or does the screen just turn black?

    Either way you can try updating the video drivers. (Drivers | GeForce)

    If the monitor is on, but displaying a black screen; try hitting ALT + Enter instead of ALT + TAB.

    Most games will then switch from Full Screen to running in a Window. That way you can whatever is you need to (f.ex. changing channels in TeamSpeak), then go back to full screen gaming with Another press of ALT + Enter.

    And if you have access to, or can borrow another monitor, try connecting it to your computer to see if the issue remains.

    Multiple monitors black screen with cursor

    Hi,

    I see the black screen at the login page. And after I blindly login the screen remain black. If the I hit Windows + P and select PC screen only the desktop show on my primary monitor. If now I go to nvidia control panel I can enable the second monitor, the
    third monitor is undetected.

    Is possible that are some conflict between the nvidia and intel graphic card drivers?!
