Hey everyone, hopefully I posted this in the right area. Unsure if GPU or monitor related.
So I've been dealing with some problems with my PC for a while now, mostly just various BSOD's and fixing them.
Yesterday while in a game of Hell Let Loose, I noticed that when I would be in a dark or heavily shadowed area of a game, my entire monitor would just go black. No visual at all. Everything else is fine, I can tab from the game and things are completely normal. I also noticed when loading twitch.com that my entire monitor seems to dim for a moment.
Thinking that was weird, I decided to test a few other games and a few benchmarks with the same result in every single one of them. My entire display goes black when even looking at a heavily shaded or black area, even my MSI afterburner display at the top right of my monitor goes away. It's so bad in games with a day/night cycle, anything at night is pretty much unplayable.
In benchmarks like superposition or valley, my entire display goes black between scenes. even losing my MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner on screen display which has never happened before. Every time I've ever gotten a black screen on my PC, I've always seen my frames and some other data displayed at the top left of my screen, even that is gone now.
In a game like Kingdom Come Deliverance, I can look at a dark area and have my entire screen go black. Just to then move my mouse an inch to a lighter area and my display comes back as if it never left. There is no difference in GPU fan speed when my display goes out either.
It does not seem to matter how much the GPU is being used either as I can replicate the issue in many ways including just looking at the pause menu in a game like GTA 4 which only uses about 30-50% of my GPU at any given time.
TL;DR every time I look at a heavily shaded or dark area in a game/benchmark my entire monitor goes black.
