Ok so once i updated , bare in mind everything was fine before this :/. I kept getting display driver not respoding and stuff , and tried uninstalling and reinstalling clean instals nothing worked. so i downgraded back to windows 8.1 and now im still getting the problems every now and then the screen randomly goes off , then if i wait around 1 min it comes back. My specs https://gyazo.com/3e52d8cd014d11c54f48af3a1757cda9


I feel it could be the cpu over heating but im not sure

Okay, so you upgraded to Windows 10 and judging from your statement, the video driver is not compatible with the stock drivers for the GPU. So from here, what I would do is download and reinstall the drivers for Windows 8.1. Cause if it's still having issues, some of the Windows 10 driver install may still be active. Either that or try a system restore to before the upgrade, that will fix it.

I tried that :/ thats the problem but i have noticed that my CPU is at 84 degrees and im only on my desktop ? could this be causing the screen to go black and then come back after some time somtimes i have to restart my system

It's normal for processors to be hot like that, that's fine. If you're concerned about it, there is heatsink stuff you can buy to keep it cooler. But the processor being hot like that is most times normal depending on the load.

Have you tried a system restore?

 

[Harry_10]

By system restore you mean ?

 

[thejackal85]

Start>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore

This is a feature that you can use to restore your computer back to a time when everything was working (assuming system restore is activated and it has points available before the upgrade).

If you find this is available, it's most times normal for it to not work the first time you try it. Keep consistently trying it and selecting other dates if they're available.

 

[Harry_10]

Thing is i downgraded from windows 10 :/ already

 

[thejackal85]

That's fine, there still might be other restore points available. Can't hurt to look.

 

[Harry_10]

There is no start on windows 8.1 where do i find it and thanks for the help

 

[thejackal85]

You can search for it, when you have the menu open with all the times, click in the search area and type in system restore

 

[Harry_10]

No restore points have been set

 

[thejackal85]

Then the only other thing I can recommend is completely uninstalling the video drivers and installing them again. To completely uninstall will depend on how they were installed. Check Control Panel>Add Remove Programs and Windows Updates>View Installed Updates. These areas will tell you what's installed and what isn't. Remove the drivers from these areas and reinstall.

What i did notice tho was whenever it did it on msi afterburner the GPU usage was some crazy number in the millions

 

[Gamer1985]

When you said you cpu is at 84 degrees, were you talking Celsius or fahrenheit? Because that would NOT be normal for no CPU load, sitting on the desktop at 84C.

 

[Harry_10]

yeah im not sure Its Celsius but one program called Speccy says its at 82 and then i open another program which says 21 its weid i dunno

 

[Harry_10]

another thing i noticed was that once it had done the error the memory clock and core clock had gone down from 1113 and 3505 to 135 and 324

I have also checked the event viewer and found that it is infact still Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
