Windows 10: Random black screen crashing on Windows 10

For the last couple of weeks I've been having crashes with no discernible source, seemingly at random. Sometimes occurs several times in one day but I can go a day or two with no crash. I've not noticed any pattern as it has occurred whilst in Edge browser but also in Lightroom and other desktop software. I've done a complete clean reset without saving any user settings / files but the problem came back within a day. It crashes with the screen going black but on one occasion I was watching something on YouTube and I could hear the sound from the YouTube video carrying on for about 20 seconds

***RANDOM*** BLACK SCREEN Windows 10





I just opened NVIDIA Control Panel to see what can I change in the settings and it just crashed again. It is not a hibernation. I think that some kind of processes are still happening, it's just that the screen goes black and there's no response to anything at all... => long press on/off button... And this keeps happening now and then... Irritating.

 

Random Crash/Freeze on Build 10130


Hello everyone.

I have been running the Windows 10 preview for the last few months and other than a driver issue here or there, did not experience any real problems. However, with the last update to build 10130, I have been experiencing a random crash/freeze that manifests itself in one of two ways:

1. If I step away from the computer and come back before the monitor is set to go to sleep, I will come back to a frozen cursor, unable to do anything.
2. If I step away from the computer and come back after the monitor has gone to sleep, I will come back to a black screen, unable to do anything.

In both cases, I have to hold the power button in to shut down the computer for a restart.

Any direction or help would be greatly appreciated.
