The issue I have seems to oddly only affect my games. Sometimes immediately after booting up my PC I'll open a game and the game screen will go back. I have two monitors so I usually click off on my other monitor then the black screen goes away. When I click on the game again it goes black once again and is a repeating problem. Usually, after I restart it fixes itself but there have been cases when I had to restart twice before it resolves itself. However, even when it resolves itself initially, if I walk away from my computer and my computer goes to sleep and I come back, the issue comes back. I've tested my ram slots and ram, my cpu, and graphics card. I'm not too sure what else could be the issue. I've even gotten new display port cords for my monitors in hopes that those were the issue.
 
Sound like it's swapping the main display so when you start the game all you see is the black screen

you most likely need to go in your video card's display settings and have a play around in there, windows might have something to do with it but it could just be a driver that's buggy, a windows O/S multi display bug or configured wrong somewhere in the display settings, prob's nothing wrong with your hardware .
