Screen turns black exclusively during gameplay
Screen turns black exclusively during gameplay
I've tried various fixes and checks so far. My system runs smoothly during gaming, but it randomly shuts down with a black screen. It happens at unpredictable times, even though I'm not under stress. I've updated the hardware, reinstalled drivers, run diagnostics, and removed many programs. Still no clear cause. I haven't tested my power supply yet, but I want to rule that out too. Right now I'm playing Spider Man remastered and CSGO, which are causing frequent crashes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Disable PBO in BIOS if possible. Restart your GPU immediately by pressing Win+Control+Shift+B. If the problem persists, roll back the GPU driver and ensure it won’t update automatically—adjust settings in System Settings > Hardware > Device Installation. Perform a clean boot to identify issues. Check if you receive a bug message in a debugger or if it remains blank.
Launch the event viewer, navigate to system, and on the right side select 'filter current log' with ID number 1001. Review the filepath in the description. Launch a browser, download Bluescreenview, run it as administrator, and enable 'bug check string'. Ensure it shows a value; otherwise proceed. Reopen the event viewer, choose system again, pick 'filter current log', and set filters to Critical, error, and warning. Apply the changes. Examine the events leading up to the crash. Reset the filter and compare the results with the three referenced details. Also verify in the Application tab.

Uncertain if this matches your needs, but you encountered these issues. The security policy check using virtualization failed because Virtual Secure Mode isn't set up. It seems the hypervisor or VSM might be missing or disabled. Attempted to start the hypervisor, but it couldn't launch—either SVM wasn't found or not enabled in BIOS. A critical hardware error occurred. Reported by component: Processor Core Error. Source: Machine Check Exception. Error Type: Cache Hierarchy. APIC ID: 4.
