Computer stops outputting video when a game launches

[Reaper_456]

Hello,

My computer runs fine with the exception that when i launch a game for example Arma 3 the screen stops outputting video after just a few seconds and will not come back until i restart the computer. I was told this is a driver update problem. But when i run windows update manager it tells me everything is up to date. I went to my device manager and ensured everything was up yo date and it was. I am not sure what the problem is or how to fix it. If you have any idea what is happening any help would be greatly appreciated

Pc specs area as follows
MOBO: Msi B150 gaming m3
GPU: Msi R9 380 gameing 4G
PSU: corsair 600W 80+

When did this start happening?

Maybe try looking and the settings of the display (Trying to play in different window?)
Can you try running a game in windowed mode? Does the same thing happen?

I have tried fiddling with the display settings on my tv and on my pc but that does not seem to change anything, and yes i tried to launch in windowed mode and got the same result

If i had one i would try it, i am off work tomorrow and have enough money in the bank i can pick one up tomorrow and try it, but i expect the same result to be honest i dont understand why a tv wouldn't work the same as a monitor

What is the model # of the TV?

Also, have you tested ctrl+alt+del? while in game?

Can you take the video card out of the computer and try the integrated graphics?

I opened task manager to take a peek at what was going on, and discovered that disk space is maxing at 100% and then causeing either the computer to stop outputting video or to give me a blue screen with the error code "thread stuck in device driver" does this explain anything?

Sorry I didn't get this. I wasn't notified that there was something unread.

I haven't seen that before so I don't know... but it does sound like that could possibly be the problem. How you move forward with that is up to you.
