Unusual system malfunction and strange screen performance.
Unusual system malfunction and strange screen performance.
Hello everyone, this situation appeared recently over the weekend. No problems or signs have shown before. My setup looks like this: Windows 11 5600x, MSI 3080 LHR, 10GB RAM, EVGA 750W G3 (2018 model), ROG Crosshair VII X470, 32GB DDR4 3600 MHz, 1.35v, three 1440p screens. I’ve only updated to the newest Nvidia drivers. The problem: my PC automatically turns off the monitors after a few minutes. When I try to wake them, it sometimes freezes, showing a picture before a long black screen and then restarting. No error messages or BSOD. If I shut down one display, the system doesn’t restart, but when I turn on another screen it reacts badly—may reboot or flash a few times before stabilizing. There’s also some strange behavior with Win Explorer; the start menu doesn’t open properly and sometimes searches intermittently. This has been unusual since it started without any prior symptoms.
Consider launching the admin command prompt and executing 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' (avoid including the extra text). Next, run 'sfc /scannow' and then power off your device. This process checks for system errors and performs additional maintenance. It's a good idea to perform this regularly.
