Hi, Randomly out of nowhere my screens will freeze then just go black, then my main monitor will flicker from an off black to an on black constantly. I've checked all my drivers to no avail and its really annoying me as its a brand new PC. I found out that Nvidia Geforce experience wasnt working last night and that when i opened the app up it was lagging my mouse out, i turned off the ingame overlay and it felt smoother. Any Ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks

Share your system details to better understand what we're dealing with. To be clear... Are you seeing blue screens or just a black screen? Does your PC keep running when it goes dark, or does it shut down completely? What situations seem to cause this issue? For example, does it only happen during games or also when browsing the web? What are your typical temperatures? Nvidia has just launched a new app to replace GForce Experience. You might want to try installing it and updating your drivers via that tool. Make sure you've updated your MOBO BIOS since you purchased or assembled the PC. If the BIOS was sitting unused for a while, it could be quite outdated. Also, consider running memtest to check if your RAM is functioning properly.
