    Pc screens go black randomly when doing something simple


    Recently I’ve been having an issue with my pc randomly going black screen. Most commonly it’s done it when I have chrome open on YouTube and I click a YouTube video to watch. After a short freeze where I can’t click or do anything, the screens turn black. Only the far right monitor blinks like it’s receiving some sort of input but it’s still black, just flashing slightly more light in a short interval. The monitors are still receiving some kind of input because they do not flash the no signal detected message. Every time it does this the only way to recover the normal function is to hard reset

    :)

  2. Computer randomly has black screen and restarts

    Taco this could be software also. Before you get all crazy, do as Erocker suggested. Find out the error in the Event Viewer. Look for the faulting module and the error code itself. Also check the reliability monitor. At the bottom it will have "View all Error Reports". Post a screen of whats in there if anything.

    This could be a simple as a bad driver install.

    ALSO have you downloaded or installed anything lately? STAY OUT OF THE DAMN BIOS UNTIL WE KNOW THE ERROR! lol. I know you. Baby steps boy, baby steps.

  3. Windows 10 infinite restart black screen


    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
