Random black screens

[ISuckAtPCsReee]

Running Windows 10, 3 monitors and periodically one of them will go black for 5-6 seconds then come back. It happens at random sometimes every 20 mins, sometimes every 6-7 hours.

 

I have tried multiple monitors, multiple GPUs, updated graphics drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled graphics driver. Nothing seems to fix it. Google lead me to people who may have the same issue but never a fix always just "Monitor going bad/GPU going bad" but this occurs on 3 different monitors and I've tried 3 different GPUs that all seem to do it so I'm left to believe it's something in windows 10 causing this issue. 

 

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

I had a computer of mine do that. The monitor would at random go black, then back on and it happened on 2 monitors.

How are the monitors connected? In my case it turned out it was the cheap HDMI cable i was using. The electrical noise of the surrounding equipment was causing the HDMI handshake to go bad (or something along those lines). Replaced the cable with a better one and now it's fine.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. There are two connected via HDMI, and one connected via DP and it happens to all 3. Not all at once but just one at a time at random. I've been looking into other google posts about it and I've come across it might be tied to an event viewer error: ESENT  Event ID 916  DllHost (2972,G,98) The beta feature EseDiskFlushConsistency is enabled in ESENT due to the beta site mode settings 0x800000.

 

Further digging into that I found something about disabling SuperFetch in windows Services and I disabled it about an hour ago and have yet to have the issue so just waiting to see if this has resolved my issue or not.

Disabling superfetch doesn't really make sense if you know what superfetch does. If it fixed your issue then by all means keep it that way. If the issue re-appears i would enable superfetch again since it's quite useful.

Yeah, I don't think it fixed it my 3rd display just went black for a second. I believe it's tied to the event viewer thing that pops up when it happens.

I'm not sure what the EseDiskFlushConsistency is, or what it does but is there ways to update or remove it?

I don't know what that does. It appears to be a windows 10 thing and I have no experience on that.
