Looking at the spec's I suppose its a custom build pc...Most probably it is a problem with the dust, I will try to open the PC port and clean all the parts 😜
So there can be few solutions and issues to this problem.
Your GPU , check the wire attachment and everything else it might be off or something.
Check your Fan , see if its moving or not , if its not clean the dusts.
Check the wiring , going from pc to your monitor , try looking at it closely it could be damaged.
Most probably it is a problem with the dust, I will try to open the PC port and clean all the parts 😜Lets hope its that or else , the damages can be real.
Else could be a RAM issue if you enabled xmp, better to disable it.What do you mean by XMP, man? Oh, and by the way, could you tell me where I can find the graphic driver? Thanks.
For now uninstall your graphic driver and reboot your PC.
Ensure in device manager it reads VGA, not your graphic name , else uninstall it from there also and reboot.
Then freshly install new graphic driver.

Another thing if the game is on and graphics of the IV go blank, but you are still able to see the texts it means you have a faulty timesync file, redownload it.No, I can't see either the text or anything else, because the monitor goes, in a way, off, and I can't turn the screen back on. But the sounds work. As I've said at the beginning of the topic, it is like when the PC has no power and the monitor is open.
VGA overheating.. OR Power Unit fail.It doesn't happen with browser usage. But it happens with SA:MP, as well. And that game runs at 120 FPS on my PC.
Do you play any other games? Does this happen using other programs/games?
Do a clean uninstall of your driversSo, I uninstall my drivers, take them out and put them back again? Well, probably that means that I need to tidy every single unit of the PC, so, it's dismantling time. I will send a photo later and I'm going to ask which the power unit is.
then install the new one
I use DDU for uninstalling it because I may break my pc if I do it manually
I've updated my GPU driver once and i feel the slowdowns after.The black screen problem occured even before the driver update, so that is not it. Anyway, I will try to look at the PC more carefully and look especially at the GPU, fan and power unit. Thanks for responses, guys. :)
I don't remember nor want to read previous posts but does it happen with any game? Can you run some benchmark on the gpu while checking the temps? try to test the ram too.I haven't tested each and every game, but at least it occurs when playing GTA SA or GTA IV or their multiplayer extensions. By the way, which software is good enough for a universal benchmark? By the way, I was told that the browser doesn't cause a black screen because
On browser usage it will not happen because your GPU is set on idle mode, or else it does not draw power to display a webpage., but I don't think the GPU has any problem. By the way, where is the GPU usually located in the PC "shell"? Probably it is affected by too much dust.
However if it happens constantly when gaming, it's like I mentioned earlier.. either faulty GPU or about to blow.. or your PSU/power unit fails to provide power when GPU demands it...
Can you try a friend's GPU or something?
Oh btw, are you connected to the monitor via HDMI cable? If that's so and you got a spare one, try replacing it.Actually, the PC is connected via a VGA cable.
try another vga cable just in case, for the benchmark you can try FurMark http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ (it will just stress the GPU)
Haven't read the topic but please, don't suggest using FurMark as it could damage certain cards.
I'm sorry to bump into this topic, but, I still can't play GTA IV Single Player, IVMP or SAMP without the screen going blank after some minutes of gameplay. I can't even start a role play properly in this way. Also, I don't want to just press /q every five minutes.Set you distance to 22
Set you distance to 22Thanks, man. But, I found the real issue. I will just get another GPU fan! :cop:
Details to 20
Having low distance, details can cause a black screen after some time.
