    Screen turns black for a second and apps seem to act weird


    Hello! Recently I started getting weird bugs where my screen would turn black for a second or two, and the apps would seem to reopen or something like that. They don't seem to stop working, but It feels like they start loading UI over already opened UI, I'd describe it like that. For example, Google Chrome's interface turns into windows 7 version of it for a few seconds and then turns back to normal, but sometimes stops responding to scrolls and any interactions until reopened, and Discord client just shows black screen until reopened as well. Taskbar at the bottom also turns 2 shades darker, as if there were 2 of them loaded. What could be the cause of such a weird behavior and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Endless black screen without anything but it is on

    Hi Basim,

    There are several reasons why the screen turns black only. It can be an issue with the software or hardware. Please answer the following questions:

    • Are there any major changes made on your computer before the issue started?
    • Have you performed any troubleshooting steps to fix the issue?

    For now, we suggest that you follow the troubleshooting steps from this

    .

    We are looking forward to your reply.

  4. Screen turns black for a second and apps seem to act weird

    Screen turns weird after screenshotting?

    Hi Phan,

    What does weird mean in this case? Upside down? The colors distorted?

    Let’s try a hard shut down (push and hold the power button down for 10 seconds) - screen should go black. Let it sit for a few seconds. Then turn it back on, is the screen back to normal?

    Give me a little bit more info and we’ll figure this one out!
