Experiencing frequent black screens and loud fan noise during games
You've been experiencing unpredictable crashes while gaming, often ending with your monitor going blank and all fans running at full speed. These incidents occur randomly—sometimes after 30 minutes or hours—and seem to be linked to Battle.net titles like Overwatch and World of Warcraft. After restarting, the display driver restarts itself, but the problems persist, sometimes requiring a manual reboot. The Event Viewer logs reveal specific errors about the display driver and related processes. Despite thorough troubleshooting—clean OS install, BIOS updates, driver reinstalls, GPU re-seating, and hardware checks—I still face these recurring issues. Your system specs are up-to-date, and all diagnostics passed without faults. It appears the problem may be software-related or tied to recent changes, such as a new driver from Nvidia. Consider reaching out to the game developers for support or checking for known issues with your hardware combination.
