While I'm playing games, I keep seeing giant black pixel walls on my whole screen. I don't know what's wrong and I'm wondering if anyone on this forum has had the same issue and what you need to do to fix it. Here is a picture of the problem: https://imgur.com/a/TVjYsw4 Here is also a picture of my computer specs: https://imgur.com/a/wBj4ieX

Hey there! Glad you're here! I'm just testing games right now and found this problem: Is this only happening on one game? You need to tell me what your power supply unit (PSU) is and how old it is. While you figure that out, can you check if your motherboard needs a BIOS update or if your computer's operating system (OS) needs an upgrade? After you find those fixes, use DDU to wipe the GPU drivers completely, then install them again from Nvidia's official site by running the installer as Administrator (that means right-clicking it and choosing Run as Administrator).

Hey! It's not just one game causing this problem. I've noticed black screens while playing EFT, Apex Legends, and PUBG too. I tried fixing both the BIOS and the OS, but my Windows update isn't working right now. Even though I updated the GPU driver manually, those black walls are still there. I don't know what brand or model my power supply is because this PC was pre-built, and I just recently swapped out the motherboard and CPU.

It's just that the texture wasn't there. I'd try removing the drivers with DDU, but maybe reinstalling them will fix it.

Hey! I've tried before and nothing worked. Those black walls are still there. I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I searched the internet for a solution but couldn't find any help.
