What causes a black screen during gaming?
Recently I encountered a black screen during a restart while playing btf6, but after that I didn't face any problems for some time. Then today, while playing New World, the same issue occurred. What might be causing this? All components on my PC are brand new except for the RTX 3070 from my old machine. I'm checking temperatures—CPU is around 50-60°C and GPU is about 40°C during low settings in New World. Everything seems fine.
Check the Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for any error codes, warnings, or informational events recorded near the times of the black screens.

Power down, unplug, open the case.
Remove dust and debris.
Confirm that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are securely installed. They may be loose.
Examine with a bright flashlight for any signs of damage or issues: exposed conductors, melting, pinched wires, swollen parts, moisture, burnt or blackened spots, loose or absent screws, cracks, corrosion, etc.
It might just be a poor driver that completely removes the GPU driver.
It might be worth checking to ensure everything is properly set up. If this issue occurs again, I will update the GPU drivers and reinstall them.
