Windows 10: Temporary Black Screen After Opening an App

So just recently I have been having an "issue" where when I open an app like a video game, there is a sudden black screen for 1-3 seconds, but then the screen resumes to the app. I wouldn't consider it an issue, as it is not something where my screen stays black, it is just temporary; it doesn't affect my games or apps in terms of performance either. Sometimes I will play with my keyboard and just smash every key known to man, so I think I might have accidentally enabled something VIA a shortcut command. I've done some research on this issue, but I have only seen things such as "black screen a

Temporary Black Screen, then no problem

@wolf2009: No, Loading screen not disabled. Would that have any effect on the 3 temporary black screens after windows loads? I'll give it a try tonight though.

@tigger69: I think I might have another AGP card to try. Do you think it could be the video card, as after about 5 minutes, everything is ok. If I can dig an old 6800GT out of storage tonight, I'll try it.

Thanks for some suggestions both of you.

Temporary Black Screen, then no problem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I listed this in General Hardware, because frankly, I have no idea what piece of hardware could be causing my problem.

I have a problem with the following system (not the listed in system specs): E4600 2.4Ghz CPU; Conroe865pe motherboard; bfg 7800gs AGP video card; 2x1Gb Mushkin XP 4000 (DDR 500) Redline memory; Antec TruPower 550 PS; Creative Audigy 2SE; KDS 17" CRT monitor.

When booting up, after the Windows loading bar, it will be on a black screen for about 2 minutes before finally loading the sign-on screen. Then, once into Windows, after a minute or so the monitor signal disappears and the monitor says it is in power-saving mode. It will do this if I click on any icon, or if on the internet. It will do this 2 to 3 times within the first 5 minutes. After this, there is never another problem as long as the computer is on.

I recently took the monitor, video card, and power supply and the old memory from a jetway pt88as board and installed on the "new"(er) Conroe board. The old memory was a 2x1GB kit of Ultra PC3200. 2 weeks ago I upgraded the memory with the memory listed above. So: I can deduce that the memory is not the problem. Powersaving and hibernation are turned off in the screen properties in Windows. Graphics card temps are fine (45-50C) and its fans are controlled by Rivatuner. The CPU temps are also fine (35-37C idle, and 39-40C under load). Airflow is great in the Coolermaster Centurion 5 case, so I don't believe it's a temperature issue.

What would account for this temporary black screen problem? And why would it go away after a few minutes?
