While using EA FC 24 I often had to switch songs quickly on Spotify, I faced a frustrating issue. Trying to exit the game would cause my screen to go dark and the monitor to flash orange, showing no signal. When I returned, the PC reset to the desktop and the game displayed in a small window, similar to exiting a game. However, even after several attempts, it kept freezing in black fullscreen. The same happened when attempting to play Call of Duty just to try another title. Restarting fixed the problem, and everything worked again. No unusual events were logged in the event viewer. I’m unsure if my PC is broken or if the graphics card is failing—maybe it’s nothing serious.

Other options with similar functionality exist. Have you attempted basic troubleshooting like rechecking connections? It might just be a simple fix such as reconnecting the cables to your monitor. Are you using more than one display?
