  1. My screen randomly goes black while playing games, then screen freezes on last frame


    Hello, I have recently been having this problem for the past couple months where my screen will randomly go black while playing games and then freeze on the last displayed frame, the program will still be functional I just wont be able to see whats going on. The only way out is alt+f4 and I lose alot of saved work and have to redo what I had done last time. It is very annoying.


    I have already tried uninstalling my graphics drivers using a DDU and reinstalling them, it did not help. I also tried uninstalling all software that may be affecting graphics ex. geforce experience and that also did not help. The problem isnt caused by overheating because it happens even when the laptop is at low temperatures, and whenever it does happen the event viewer outputs an error with the id of 4101.


    If anyone can please help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    :)
