Hey there, I’ve been facing some odd problems with my PC lately. My screen sometimes turns black, the system freezes, and then it restarts after a short time. Usually it works afterward, but it doesn’t always happen. It seems to occur randomly—sometimes every boot, other times only occasionally. All drivers are current, and I’ve tried reinstalling the GPU drivers using DDU, running the System File Checker and DISM tools, updating the BIOS, and resetting everything to defaults. Still no fixes. I also noticed at times I don’t see any display signal during startup; the screen stays black until Windows login appears. My specs look normal: Intel i9-14900K, ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 4090, ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO, and so on. RAM is Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6600, storage includes multiple Samsung drives. OS is Windows 11 Pro, with Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 as the main display and Asus ROG PG279 as a secondary option. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks ahead!

Sorry, there isn't much info available. If the system is freezing, check for WHEA errors. There might be an overclock; try disabling it and reinstalling Windows (after backing up). Also, ensure your BIOS is current.
