Hey there.

So I've been experiencing a problem lately and I'm not really sure how to fix it. I will be playing a game, for example the new Cyberpunk. And out of nowhere, my computer will just give me a black screen and I can't do anything. Which leads to me having to restart my PC. I have looked all around for a solution and just can't find one that fits my problem. Hopefully someone is able to help me.

Thanks!

So when booting up the game it'll just black screen then you restart your PC or is it that your pc just black screens on boot up?

Well, I've seen about a dozen say to go into safe mode, press Windows Key + X, go to quick link menu and select Device Manager. Then expand display adapters and disable. But it hasn't worked. And all of the other videos I watched talked about a similar situation but none of them fit my problem.

It honestly doesn't matter what I'm doing at that moment and time. It will just black screen whenever. If I'm in the middle of a game, it will black screen. Even if I just started chrome, it will just black screen.

If youre drivers are up to date you could try using DDU to uninstall them all and re install.

Have you tried switching display cables/ports?

They are yes. I'm going to try rolling back the driver update and reinstalling.

What graphics card do you have? Are you overclocked? Are you up to date on all software and drivers? These are questions that can help figure out the problem. Sudden black screens can usually be a problem with power delivery or drivers.

Are you using the correct cables for your GPU? Do you have any third-party software installed?
