Black screen issues

Hi all,

I first had this problem a couple of weeks ago - everything working fine no issues at all and suddenly Shadow of the Tomb Raider won't load fullscreen anymore. It just shows a black screen, you can still hear the game but no visuals. If you alt-enter into windowed you can see everything again but alt-enter back to full screen and it goes black again. Also even more strangely when you try and go into display settings in game it just freezes and crashes. Thought it might be some kind of driver issue (even though everything had been working fine and there was no driver update before the issue started) - uninstalled all drivers and started again.

Couple of weeks later and I'm back with the same problem again - Watch Dogs Legion has been running fine all week, nothing changed, no driver updates, nothing. Then this afternoon just won't load into fullscreen - again just get the black screen and can hear the game but can't see it. Again it will let me alt-enter into windowed mode and see it but try and go fullscreen again and it all breaks.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm wondering if it is the card - 2070 super - but it seems to run Flight Sim 2020 without any issues at all and has done since August and all of that is all still working!

Any suggestions welcome!!
