Display turning off

[Luka Dautovic]

Recently I have been experiencing horrible issues with my display.

Sometimes, when playing specific games my display will turn off suddenly and I can't turn it on again. I believe the games crash as well, as the sound suddenly stops but I can't be sure either since the only way to get the display back on is to restart the PC.

Specifications:

Spoiler

i5 4460 3,2Ghz
r9 380 G1 gaming 4GB
16GB 1866Mhz Kingston
Z87 pro V-edition motherboard
Seasonic gold-550W
1000GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM

And here are the fixes I tried so far:

Spoiler

Reinstalling windows 10 (twice)
Reinstalling drivers
Uninstalling AI suite 3

Now the specifics:
The issues never appeared while I was using Windows 7, but I also never played the games that are causing the issues on windows 7 as well.

The games that caused the issue thus far: Fallout 4, Rust
The games that never caused the issue thus far: Dota 2, DAI, GTA V, H1Z1, Portal etc.

The issue also never appeared before installing AMD crimson software, nor do they occur in fallout 4 when "Wait for vertical refresh" is turned off (which I never used on windows 7)
Which leads me to believe the issue may be related to either new windows, radeon software or both. Any assistance is appreciated.

Fallout 4 is a very high quality game, very high graphics if you set the modes to it. It sounds to me like your graphics card is overheating. Lower the performance of the card down within the games and see what happens.

Alright, I forgot to mention, nothing is overclocked nor is anything overheating. I have been keeping an eye on the temperature of all my components. Besides, when i turn vertical refresh in crimson software to "always off" the display stops turning off.

Crimson has had a number of complaints on here recently. Wonder what it is. Either way, try playing the game in lower quality and let us know what happens. Regardless of what happens or how, it will tell us something.

I tried that already, it happens regardless of graphical settings.

I fixed the issue by rolling back to driver version 15.200 from november, and it seems generally more stable.

It could be a driver version then, maybe the package had a flaw in it. Might be worth while to check out their forums to see if other users have mentioned the same thing.

I don't know, I couldn't find a similar problem anywhere else. And besides, I tried with different versions of the drivers and windows, through several clean instals, yet it never seems to go away.
