Question Game randomly turns black while in fullscreen, then it gets into windowed mode.

[SiniorSipia]

Hello, this is a very specific and weird problem.

The issue is that, while i am playing any game in fullscreen, sometimes the game turns black and i have to alt+tab to see the game again. After alt+tab the game is now in windowed mode and sometimes the game just crashes and i have to close it and open it again.

The weirdest thing is that everytime that happens, some apps also turn completelly black -discord- and i have to close it and open if i want to use it.

I have a Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070 and i use 2 screens. The screen i use to play is connected to the gpu using a cable that converts from displayport to hdmi.

Thank you all.

Why use a converter for the signal?

I have the same exact issue, except not using any kind of converter. Also, it only tends to happen if I'm using a controller. It's getting to the point where I won't play games with a controller, even if it's more comfortable.
