Windows 10: Windows 10: Screen Randomly Goes Black Every Day

4 days ago upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Home. Ever since that upgrade, I have random times every day where the screen randomly goes black while I'm using it. Goes black for around 10 seconds, then screen reappears. Nothing wrong with cables. Don't have to restart. Just moving the mouse for 10 seconds gets screen to reappear. Can directly attribute this to Windows 10 because it didn't occur before the upgrade. What's wrong?


HARDWARE:

CPU: Intel Core i7-7820X 16 core

Motherboard: ASUS TUF X299 MARK 2

Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Screen goes black if the power cord is connected

Hi Tony,

As the screen goes black I suggest you to refer the Microsoft article on
Troubleshoot black screen problems and check if it helps.

I also see that you are facing issues with the keyboard this might be due to the corruption of keyboard drivers. I suggest you to run the
hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps for the same.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter. Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
• Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
• Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
