Hello,
I promise, I've searched the forum. It seems that a couple other folks have had similar issues to what I'm having, but then they abandon their thread without further details or a solution.
I have tried all of the suggestions that were left in them though.
I have just built a new gaming rig. Ryzen 2600X, XFX RX 580, AORUS B450 Elite, Trident Z 3200, and an EVGA 750 Watt PS.
My monitor is a LG 34CB88 ultrawide with Freesync
It works great and runs perfectly on productivity tasks, web browsing, etc.
However, when I fire up any game I will get occasional (every 30 seconds to once every 5 minutes) black screens. It's only black for about 2 seconds and then it comes back.
During the black outs, the game sound is still there, my character has continued to move, no noticeable FPS drops, etc. GPU Temps hover in the high 70s
I've tried windowed(1080) and full screen game modes, both do it.
Since it's a new build, I installed the latest drivers, updated the BIOS/firmware, and all of the components are new (besides the monitor which is a couple years old).
I have tried turning on/off Freesync, changed monitor modes, played with frame rates, turned off Link State Power Management, and pinned the PC to the High Performance power plan.
No CPU overclocking. Though, I did OC the 580 for a little bit (it's an OC card and it said that I needed to tweak Adrenaline to get full performance), but that's been reset to default.
I'm open to all suggestions. Thank you!
