Hi all, it's been awhile since I posed here! I downloaded Far Cry 6 a few weeks ago, when it came out, and it's been an amazing game. However, I just installed the first update, and now when I launch the game, the screen just stays black. I have MSI afterburner open, so I can see all the current specs of the computer, and it's running fine. I can alt-tab out of it, and google chrome and other applications are working fine. I also tried restarting the computer, and I also updated the drivers. Nothing seems to help. I also looked at the Ubisoft help page, nothing there either. Specs of PC: Ryzen 5 3600 Asus LC240 Asus ROG B550-A 16GB Crucial Balistix (3200) 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD 2TB HDD RTX 3060 Ti FE Seasonic 650 SGX Lian Li O11D Mini Any help is appreciated!

Hello guys, Hopefully someone can help with this. I was in the middle of watching a YouTube video today, when my PC suddenly froze and then black screened. I proceeded to turn my PC off via the power switch at the back, and then boot into Windows 11 again. Only, this time is proceeded to the Windows 11 boot splash (with the animated loading bar), and then after a few seconds it froze, then finally displaying a black screen. To then make sure it wasn't an issue exclusive to Windows 11, I attempted to boot into my Manjaro installation on a separate SSD, only to be met with the same behaviour. I have attempted Re-seating my GPU; Resetting BIOS (both via menu and removing CMOS battery); unplugging all USB devices; Only using 1 display; and using HDMI instead of DP My System Specs Are: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (not overclocked) AMD RX5600XT (XFX Thicc 2) ASUS Prime 5450M-A Bios version 3211 x2 Corsair 8GB sticks @ 2133Mhz Windows 11 is on a Crucial M500 M.2 and Linux (Manjaro) was on a corsair SSD Any help would really be appreciated, I have been trying to search for answers for hours but to no avail.

Sorry in advance for the long post but I've tried my best to summarize my troubleshooting so far. I've been having an issue for the past 4-5 weeks or so which has prevented me from being able to play GTA V, Apex Legends, Scavengers (early access), etc. but still allows me to play non-GPU intensive games such as League of Legends, Rocket League, etc. without issue. Mid 2020 I took my existing computer (seen here; https://pcpartpicker.com/b/cVtgXL) and I traded the GPU with a local guy for a EVGA XC Ultra 2080 ti because I needed a GPU that would fit the water block in EK's O11D water cooling kit. Now that I had a GPU that would fit I converted the components into this build; https://pcpartpicker.com/b/mRq323 *NOTE THAT THIS IS MY CURRENT BUILD I've been gaming and working on this new water-cooled PC configuration for about a year now but in the last 5-6 weeks I have been experiencing issues when I try to play more GPU heavy games both my monitors will randomly black screen when the GPU is under heavy load; tested Ultra settings in Heaven Benchmark and it crashed a few minutes in once the GPU hit 71*C. The interesting thing is that the PC still runs and I get audio from the games and discord but I have to force restart the PC in order to restore the GPU signal to the monitors. I'm using a display port main gaming monitor (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BcTrxr/dell-monitor-s2716dg) and an HDMI for my 56" Samsung TV (read as "secondary monitor"). I've tried unplugging and re-plugging in the HDMI cable and DP cables into the GPU/monitors to no avail, I've tried to redownload the latest GeForce drivers (released yesterday 5/18/21; 466.27) to no avail, and I have checked my fan and pump curves in my BIOS and everything there is fine. Interestingly enough this issue began occurring right about when the temperatures in my region began to climb into the 80s but also coincided with the latest NVIDIA GeForce driver update version 466.27 released on 4/29/21. Just an FYI; I have an AC unit in my room that keeps ambient temps at around 70-72*F so definitely not a thermal throttling issue. I tried swapping out the GPU power cord with a different one to see if it was a power supply issue or a bad GPU power cable but that did not seem to solve the issue. After some thinking I force rebooted my system, started streaming my main PC screen for a friend of mine and launched Apex Legends to see if he could see any error messages when I black screened. When I black screened a few min into a match he could see the following error on my screen; "0x887A0007 - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET The device failed due to a badly informed command. This is a run time issue; The application should destroy and recreate the device". I did quite a bit of research on this issue and tried several solutions to no avail. 1) I tried this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw6FRWbQhjA 2) and this; https://docs.substance3d.com/spdoc/gpu-drivers-crash-with-long-computations-128745489.html 3) and this; I tried reverting to the previous NVIDIA driver 466.11 from 4/12/21 since my system worked well with that driver but I still got the black screen when playing GPU intensive titles. As of today I started digging in the event viewer and found that there were errors from several ASUS services such as "AsusCertService" and "AsusFanControlService" as well as from Armoury Crate. These were remnants from the previous ASUS ROG Strix 2080ti that I traded away for a EVGA XC Ultra 2080ti to fit the water cooled GPU block in the new build. I downloaded the Armoury Crate Uninstaller, ran the uninstall process, "shift+deleted" all of the remaining ASUS files located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS", and then I ran command prompt in admin mode and used the SC DELETE "enterservicenamehere" command to delete all the remaining ASUS services. After that I tried to update the NVIDIA drivers again to version 466.27, deleted the DWORD entries I made in solution attempts 1 & 2 above, and tested some games. However, I still got black screened. Another Evernt Log item I see pretty often is; "The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54} and APPID {15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402} to the user USERNAME-RYZE\User Name SID (blah blah blah) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool." Not sure if that has anything to do with this issue either but after some prelim research it looks like it does not. I just stumbled on this post and may try this later today; https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/etslil/psa_i_solved_dxgi_error_device_reset_crashes_on/ Please let me know if you know of any potential solutions for this issue or know of any way to better track down what the root cause of the issue may be. I'm really at a loss as to what this could be and there's no way I'm getting my hands on another 2080 ti right now. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Recently (as of today) my computer started black screening every couple of seconds and I would see horizontal tears before it would go black. I checked all connections made sure everything was plugged in and the problem continued, so I pulled out an HDMI cable and everything works fine. Obviously I don't want to use an HDMI so I tried different display ports and the problem got worse to the point where the computer would black screen and come back on about 20 times over a 5 minute period and would eventually blackscreen for good and reboot completely on its own. I took the cable to my brothers house and tested it on his pc and everything worked fine. So I came to the conclusion that the display port on the monitor was broken. I really don't want to buy a new monitor so just seeing if there might be any other options. I reinstalled graphics drivers and reset pc to monitor link with winkey+shift+crtl+B My specs: Ryzen 5 5600x Asus tuf gaming 6800xt Asus tuf gaming x570 plus G.skill trident z 2x16 3600 cl18 NZXT C850m gold

Heres a wierd one.. For some reason once in a while, when i go too boot up a game, it boots and runs no problem but for some reason the screen stays black then the picture will show for a second or two then go black and continue to happen. Sound works fine, no stutter noises and the game doesn't crash. I reinstalled my drivers and nothing is overclocked. Not sure why it keep happening to be honest but i have to reboot my computer every time and it then it work. Anyone have a similar issue or have a possible thought as to why its happening?

For the last 2 weeks, my PC has started black screening randomly whilst using. Any help in fixing would be greatly appreciated. The blacking screening doesn't happen after a particular amount of time, can be an hour or 5 hours. The PC doesn't turn off and you can still hear audio through the speakers along with system sounds. I have updated to latest Nvidia drivers, ran Windows Memory test and have detected no issues. Health & Performance says everything is fine. On the Event Viewer it displays: Critical - Kernal Power - Event ID 41 (Task category 63) at the time of of failure. Using HWInfo, I looked at temps: CPU Temps (45-70) and GPU temp (50-51) remain constant.

Hello LTT community, Note: (I'm sorry admins if I posted this in the wrong category/area, please move it to where it should be if need be.) Right so basically I've moved all the my/the same hardware from a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe black to a Thermaltake Core P5. In the process of connecting it back up for a test of life before cable-management I get 5 beeps from the Motherboard's alarm-speaker. Medium duration beeps. Now I'm lead to believ this is a CPU not mounted error or GPU not mounted error. Problem is I can't check the GPU because I have no on-board graphics module available on the ASRock 990FX Extreme6 mobo. I'm using a really old Gainward GTX580 reference-design cooler card. Now before I moved the case I would get ocassional screen black outs where my games would either crash or a black screen would appear and go after 5 seconds completely randomly under I guess GPU load; gaming/rendering (photoshop). 1.) I've already tried removing and re-seatting the RAM but nothing. EVen a single stick is a big no no. 2.) I've checked the fans all get power; PSU, CPU cooler and finally the GPU fan. 3.) I've taken the GPU out and ran the system to see about the alarm noises and beeps and it's still 5 medium duration beeps but I feel the beeps start to happen quicker with the GPU removed. I'm assuming this because the motherboard checklist before boot can't find a graphic-output device and fails quicker rather than when it's installed and mounted and powered by the PSU. Because then it has to do checklists on it's condition before boot. If anybody can help shine some light on this for me would excellent! Oh and due to thermaltake's shitty stand-off's I'm missing the bottom lower-left stand off screw holding it in although the stand off is present behind the board. Same with the middle stand-off for an ATX-size board. However I can see nothing is shorting on the pins against the case as I have a good top and side view. My SPECS are: +AMD 9590 4.7Ghz ASRock 990FX Extreme6 Gainward GTX580 1.5GB SG card Samsung 850 EVO Pro SSD 256GB Corsair CX750 (shitty corsair psu) Kingston HyperX Fury low-profile 1866Mhz 2x 4GB = 8GB ram dual channel config Any help would be really REALLY helpful lol.

I have been noticing a new strange issue with my desktop. I have a EVGA 980 Ti FTW GPU that I've had for a REALLY long time, probably a couple of years now. I stream and game on this graphics almost 25 hours a week. My issue is this. I have it set in windows that after 15 minutes Windows will display the "black" screensaver but my monitors are usually still awake meaning their power lights are still lit as normal like when I use them. Well as of recent when the screensaver goes to "black" 2 of the out monitors, I have 3 monitors, will power into a "sleep" state and are not displaying the "black" screensaver. I did some research on Google and symptoms of a dying GPU were a black screen, however, I don't know if that's on power up or what. I know the video cables are fine, and I just updated my Geforce driver last night, upon writing this that was February 15th at 4AM. I know Windows had a few updates, but none of them have to do with the GPU. So how do I know if my 980 Ti is starting to go on me? Should I replace the GPU now before I start having real issues? And if so, what is the next GPU that comes close to a 980 Ti? Also too after the monitors enter this "sleep state" then it shifts all my windows I have open to one "asleep monitor" or the other.

So I already have a topic on this, but it's from last month. I've tried almost everything except for a complete wipe of my data or returning parts. And I need your help deciding what parts to return. So my main issue is Random reboots/black screens. I first thought it was GPU, but then I tested a different GPU in the same slot and it still occurred. Speaking of slots, the PCIe 2 & 3 slots done seem to work. My voltages should be fine for the card and everything. Enough (650W) and the correct connectors. I ran Memtest86+ after I decided I'd try my RAM as well, and encountered many errors. But only with specific settings. A) One stick runs fine, I've read this means nothing bc every RAM stick will run ok by itself B) At default settings (2133Mhz instead of advertised 3000Mhz) I don't get errors C) At D.O.C.P (Which is pretty much XMP but through ASUS boards for AMD CPUs) 3000Mhz (Rated speeds) I get errors. So I don't know if I should return the Mobo since it seems to have issues and hope it resolves my RAM problems with the Black screens, or return my RAM and hope the Mobo problems resolve with the Black screens. Details: RAM RGB stays on whenever it crashes. When it crashes, the GPU turns off (But I've had it where it turns its lights off but keeps fans running) I've had one reboot, and multiple times when it black screens. All random occurrences. I'm currently running at stock speeds on everything, I reset my oc software and my BIOS to default, and it seems like it's going ok. No crashes for a few hours. Thank you for your help! I hope I can get this working!

I've been having a black screen/ rebooting issue for a month or so now. My linked thread down there is a detailed discussion I had a bit ago that talks about my issue. My latest reply was this: I know that opening threads on the same topic is looked down on, but I don't think there's much of a chance of my old thread getting noticed again. So since we went into detail about the issue and what's going on, here's the old topic for context. Just tell me if I need to delete this for any reason. Thank you very much.

Need regarding a black sceen issue. The issue is caused mainly due to gpu or the psu since my other components are new and i tested them separately and working fine. The gpu is a gtx 970 which is almost 5 years old. The problem occurs is that when i play games or the gpu is under heavy load , the screen goes black and the pc restarts. Then i tried to stress the gpu using "OCCT6" and after 1 min of stressing it the screen goes black and pc restarts. So im not sure its the problem with the Gpu or the Psu since i don't have any other spare Psu. I have used this psu for 5 years and this problem is happening for the last 6 months but this issue used to happen occasionally (Maybe once in a month the screen goes black and then i had to restart and then it works fine) But now it is happening every time i try to stress test or play an intensive game. The psu im using is Corsair VS 650.

so i attempted to overclock my laptop (dell inspiron 7577) and i went into the dell graphics control panel, and clicked 75 hz, and now i have a black screen. i tried to restart, no luck. but the windows icon did appear, but a black screen afterwards. any help?

Sit down, folks, because this is a story. Alrighty... I just built a computer with the following components: CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Memory: Kingston Fury White Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (and a Samsung 850 Evo 120 GB SSD) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card Case: NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply After getting the rig together and powering it on, I installed Windows 7 using a bootable USB drive to my SSD. I downloaded my motherboard drivers and utilities, and then connected to the internet. I then went to check for Windows updates, and I started to install the 20 "necessary" ones. Once the installation finished, it asked me to restart my computer, so I did. But to my dismay, I was greeted by the infamous Black Screen of Death, on which the only thing I could see/move was my mouse cursor. After pressing F8 and using the advance boot option "Load from most recent good configuration," I was returned back to my normal desktop, and the installations had apparently installed, except for one update named "Intel® Smart Connect Technology Device", whose installation had failed. I shut down and restarted my computer one more time just to make sure the problem had gone away, and everything worked as expected. Thinking all was well, I then downloaded the most recent nvidia graphics driver, and once that install finished, I was asked to restart my computer again, which I did...And as you can guess, the Black Screen of Death came back once again. I proceeded with the same "fix" as last time, and got back to the "Last good configuration." Wary this time around, I decided to check for any additional Windows Updates to see if there might be another update I was missing. There were two "necessary/important" updates this time, the Windows Service Pack 1, and a nvidia graphics adapter. I clicked install, and when I was asked to restart my computer to finish up, I braced myself, and restarted my computer. This time, my computer loaded to the screen where Windows says "Configuring/Applying updates xxxxx/xxxxx". But when it got to updating the last file, my computer shut down again and restarted itself. Upon booting, I was told that Windows had quit improperly/unexpectedly. After some more frustrating computer restarts and booting, I arrived to this situation: Every time I turn my computer on, after I have the option to entire BIOS/Select Boot Method, but before Windows 7 or anything else begins to boot, I get stuck with a black screen with a single, white underscore flashing in the top left corner of my monitor, unable to input any command or do anything at all. It doesn't matter how many times I restart my computer, change the graphics settings in BIOS, or whether I boot from my Windows 7 Installation USB drive or from my SSD. I'm still stuck with a blank screen and a flashing underscore. This is my sad story. If anyone here could offer some advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. Pls. I need guidance.

I don't know what caused this, and I don't know what the problem is. I can't seem to find the solution to this but I will be as detailed as possible on what the hell is going on. So let me explain, this may take a while. Recently, my GTX 750 broke and I needed a new card quickly or else my sanity of not going on my computer would kick in, since I already had an APU, my thought was to just buy another AMD card so I can stay full AMD rather with an NVIDIA card. So I bought an R7 260x, slapped it in there and everything worked as it should, installed the drivers and boom, back to 140fps on csgo, played some Alan Wake and boom everything went as planned. Three days passed and my webcam came in the mail. Neat! So I plugged it in, downloaded the drivers and worked fine, then realized that my harddrive was getting a little full so I decided to uninstall a few games like BF4 (Games barely functions I don't know why I decided to get the free week of gameplay thing) few other things and then I realized that I didn't uninstall my Nvidia stuff, there were like four of the icons there so I was like BAI BAI. Uninstalled all of them. Continuing to do so, something needed a restart (I think it was for my webcam) so I did. After the "Windows is starting" thing all I had was a black screen, I was like OH F WHAT DID I JUST DO. I restarted the computer and then realized that every time I started the computer there would be a slight gggrriiiinnn sound for half a second after five seconds when I turn on the computer. I thought my harddrive was at the end of the life span because it wouldn't read anything after the Windows is starting screen. Well at least i think it's not reading anything because the HDD led isn't flickering or anything. So I moved the hard drive down to the bottom of my case to the HDD slots or whatever you call them and after about like 5 restarts I got into windows, I didn't bother putting in my password I just thought THANK GOD. Turned it off, put my computer back together, and what do you know, it's back to black screen. I just thought to myself WTH is going on!? Unplugging and putting back the graphics card I thought it could do something and using the inigrated graphics in my APU and still nothing, put the graphics card back in, booted into windows. Nice. Atleast I thought it would. When I go to my desktop, I have the Windows basic theme or at least i think it's called that, it looks something like this: Like the blue bar on top when I use chrome is there and the bottom is also blue. Like power saver mode when using a laptop. Not only that, I would get short horizontal flickering lines for the first twenty seconds and it would stop. They're very small but I can notice them and I'm really scared that I have a broken graphics card. I couldn't figure out how to put it back to it's original theme. Next thing I knew, I couldn't play a single game. Here's what would happend when I would play Alan Wake: When I would load up the witcher 2 I would get a black screen and the cursor just becomes a white + sign. I would hit the windows key and It would show up like it's nothing. As if I just open a blank screen rather than a game. Same thing for Torchlight II. Guys please tell me what's going on! I don't want to lose this computer! WTH is it the HDD the graphics card!? WHAT? To add in one more thing, when I would connect a second monitor, it would go back to the black screen. I can only have one display at a time.

Hey guy's i have been having this problem lately where my screen suddenly goes black (like completely black, shuts down) and what ever i am doing is still running. i.e: if am playing a game screen shuts down but i can still hear the game running, same thing if i am watching a video or listening to music. one thing to note is that the screen is still getting a signal from the graphics card i can tell because of the green LED staying on even though the screen is showing nothing, if the graphics card had stop sending a signal it would turn orange, and i have replaced the power bracket of the screen to an after market one since i lost the original a long time a go. the intervals at which this happens has been increasing lately which is making me think that the screen is dying or something. i have updated my graphics drivers to the latest, checked my connections multiple times nothing seems wrong. i have an acer AL 1913W and a AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series graphics card. sorry if i am missing anything, just ask and i will reply. thanks.
