Windows 10: My games keep crashing the PC. I keep getting Black Screen.

Whenever I play games, I keep getting a black screen a few seconds after running the game. I suspected it may be a driver problem so I uninstalled drivers using DDU and did a clean reinstall of them. I still get the same problem. I viewed the eventviewer app and it shows a couple of statements like : Gameinput Application Reconfiguration crashes Win 11 PCor Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-WER-SystemErrorReporting Date: 2/5/2024 6:04:38 PM Event ID: 1001 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: User: SYSTEM Computer: DESKTOP-5JL

Playing Game (HoN) Screens go Black, needs hard reset. Only gaming

Hi People,

I built my own PC and its been running great for 2 years.

Using an SSD for OS and boot, and 1TB black drive for games and programs.

I recently installed "Heroes of Newerth" for some giggles. I dont believe it is a highly intensive game on the GPU but i get some crazy crashes on my pc.

Pretty much Ill be running HoN and Skype and both screens just go black, no sound or beeps, no error, nothing.

My keyboard nad mouse lights are still on.

My keyboard has multiple user levels, (4) each have different colour lights, but none of the user levels work, which makes me think the driver is not running on that, so maybe the pc has 'mostly' crashed.??

Ive done a SMART test and all good
Done a memory test (windows) and 100%, no errors found.

Aside from this i dont know what the next step is.

Usually i solve these on my own, but since there is no error I can't even google tog et something more sepcific!

ideas anyone?

Thanks for any advice or suggestions,

Gangel
