Weird things happening?

[LordPugIII]

Hey all,

 

Every so often and when i say this i mean very rarely when loading up games, the screen will go black and i have to ctrl alt del and close it via task manager or alt tab and close it.

 

Do any of you know why? Or what might be causing the problem?

 

Cheers. Help is much appreciated.

Try updating the drivers to the latest STABLE version. 

 

However I get this when playing any sort of shaders on intel hd graphics so it might be video card related.

It could be game specific. Which games are you noticing this with? Or is it all of them

for what I play (world of warships and War Thunder mostly) at 1080p the R9 380 was hard to pass up. I was going to get a 970 or 390 but I cheaped out.

I have to agree, try the drivers. For me recently I've been getting this too, but only when opening up MSI afterburner and on some websites (????).
