help needed problem with motherboard or cpu?

zayah · May 4, 2020

im currently running a z-390 f with i9-9900k no gpu rn ( it had some issues and i had to send it back, will get a new one next week). i was using my integrated gpu and was browsing thru discord when all of a sudden my screen flashed black and after couple seconds, it went normal and i noticed all gifs just were blank w green color. and after that i noticed my hwmonitor isnt showing over half what it used to, cant see cpu temps, fan speeds or integrated gpu temps (pic for reference of what i can see currently) i tried hwmonitor pro, i tried core temps and different programs but nothing shows em. was thinking maybe some sensors are broken, but i can see cpu temps and fan speeds in bios so i really dont think so. was just thinking on upgrading my cpu cooler from dark rock pro 4 to an aio, but i cant see the temps so i cant even compare them. if anyone has any idea what could be wrong or a fix for it , id appreciate it greatly.

Did you recently install Valorant? This game installs the Vanguard anti-cheat system which prevents some monitoring programs from working correctly.

Try using HWiNFO.

wow thank you so much!! uninstalling the vanguard fixed it. i tried to google so much w no results, maybe the screen going black and all was just a weird coincidence. i hope they fix the vanguard soon.
