[AustinReed]

I've had this issues where my games will randomly go from Fullscreen to windowed, and its not like I'm hitting alt enter to cause this it just happens.

ok so windows. if you run a dual monitor setup , and are clicking off the primary display that has a full screen game running them it will automatically minimize the game , because you told it to by clicking off the game and selecting a different program to be highlighted such as a browser window or even the desktop.

if you want it to stop doing that then don't click off of the game , or you can disable the secondary monitor , or you can run it in window borderless mode.

1. Sounds like the GPU driver might be crashing and then recovering. Do both screens go black or just one?
2. Run the PowerShell script (copy and paste into PowerShell and press Enter at the end) from step 4 in the House Keeping section here and edit your original post and upload the LTTForumsComputerInfo.txt file from your Downloads folder that the script generates

Also, please update your original post with this information. It would be nice to know it all started when you got a Keychron keyboard...
