Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ancient and inactive member here o-o anyone remember me?

 

Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,  I am having an issue in which I get a black screen , keyboard+mouse become unusable but I can still hear people if I am in a skype call and they can hear me too. If I unplug my headset and plug it back in however this no longer happens. Any ideas? I've ran check disks, clean installed windows 10 3 times, removed the OC on my CPU. Oddly enough my GPU ran a 6 hour stress test perfectly fine but any form of DirectX interaction results in this black screen issue coming up faster than usual however it happens completely spontaneously. I don't get a crash dump 90% of the time due to the fact that my PC doesn't actually crash (hence the skype calls). Crash dumps that I have had are here.

Sounds like the display driver crashed and cannot recover.

Monitor your graphics card temperatures. And if you're one of the lucky ones to have an nVidia card on Windows 10 and suffering bugs, may have to roll back or use a beta driver. Same for AMD as they choose to update their driver infrastructure the same time nVidia is having Win 10 driver compatibility issues.

I have tried version 15.12 15.13 and 15.2 all the same issue, I've set a max temperature in the drivers so overheating isn't an issue and the issue happens at idle too.

Have you updated .net framework and Direct X respectively? Does your graphics card support Direct X 12? If not, you may need to install DX11/11.1 libraries as well.

:P check my sig I have an R9 290 , anyway, I guess I could try that? It happens simply on the desktop with nothing open so I don't think installing anything should prevent a crash on the default Windows 10 programs?

I'm on mobile, no sigs show up.

And no. DX11 libraries will only be used by programs asking for it. And if you use Steam to download and play games, it typically keeps your Direct X and other core libraries up to date for you.

Appears to be fine on Linux (where I'm sending this message from). But I keep getting the issue no matter what on Windows 10.
