Question Black screen after quitting games nvidia GTX 1660

[Bangaru448]

I just bought a Zotac GTX 1660. GPU works perfectly fine under load; I tried on different games, and Furmark works perfectly fine, but whenever I exit the game after playing the game or Furmark software, my PC gets stuck at a black screen; after that, nothing will work, and after that, I have to restart the PC.


I already tried reinstalling drivers through DDU, using old drivers. The only solution that works is "setting the power management mode to Prefer maximum performance." in the Nvidia control panel. I think it is something related to TDP. Can you guys provide any solutions for this?

What type of connection do you use to attach your display (HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, etc)?

Also, are you gaming at your system's native resolution (i.e. 1920x1080)?

HDMI

What about the other question?

No adapters are being used for the display connection. Right?

Have you tried an alternate HDMI cable?

I assume you bought a used 1660. Do you know if it was used for crypto-mining by previous owners?

Nope, the previous owner used it for gaming only.

I know you are running an older system, but do you know if the motherboard BIOS is the most recent version available for it?

What is the exact/full model number of your motherboard?

Are you overclocking anything (CPU, memory, GPU)?

Is Windows 10 fully up to date?
