So the laptop itself is fine everything works nice but when launching a game (or doing anything a bit "heavy") the laptop starts making a lot of noise (which is understandable) but then the screen goes completely dark and only comes back after like 20ish seconds. It sometimes only comes back after a while longer and usually after coming back after a few secondsit goes black screen again (and the noise is still happening). Does anyone know how to fix this? thank you!

Does the program continue to run when the screen goes black?  When you say noise is this the hardware of from the speakers?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Yes it continues to run (depends on the game, it makes one close with an error and another one keeps running) and the noise is from the hardware(also another small thing when just opening the windows settings it goes to a black screen too. And even more frequently than a game)

I would suspect it’s a connection problem to the monitor somehow, but there just isn’t much to make noise in a laptop besides fans.  And a mechanical hard drive.  Either would have to be badly damaged I suspect.
