Yes, I have searched on this about people getting black screens when a steam game crashes but I tried their solutions to no success. It happens randomly whenever I exit out of a game, hit the windows key, open task manager, etc.... Then I get black screen on my monitor but I can see my pc is still powered on and running. I can hear sounds from it but there is nothing on the screen. Some articles suggested pressing win+ctrl+shift+b to refresh the graphics card drivers, it worked once or twice and now doesnt work at all. I press ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+shift+tab, shift+tab, nothing works but restarting the computer entirely. I head it might be a problem with my monitor so....
Monitor: 1280x1024 75hz dell se197fp monitor that I set to 75hz
GPU: ASUS GTX 1060 3GB
please help this is so indescribably rage-inducing
thanks in advance
 


i do have an hdmi adapter for the monitor because the gtx 1060 doesnt even have a vga, and yes i am running win 10.
i will try updating my graphics card drivers.
