I've been having an issue where my screen will occasionally go black for a few seconds and then come back on afterwards exactly as I had left it. My specs are:
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF
i5 2500
Gigabyte 1050ti Low Profile
16GB DDR3 RAM 1333mhz (4x4gb)
From looking at various forums I had thought it to be either my graphics card or my PSU, but I'm starting to wonder. I used AIDA64 to run a full system stability test and I was not able to replicate the effect even when everything was running under load, so it doesn't appear to be related to that. It will occasionally happen for a few seconds while I play PC games (for reference, playing Fallout New Vegas on ultra I saw it happen maybe once an hour on average). Sometimes it will also happen just after opening a video, and when switching between graphical settings in games. The most consistent way I have found to replicate it is to run a game in the Dolphin emulator, at which point the screen will rapidly flicker on and off every couple seconds when I try to tab out, and will continue this way until I close Dolphin. It doesn't seem to have any direct link to the temperature of the components or the power draw, because otherwise the stress test would have replicated it, so I'm a little stumped by it.
All I can think of is a driver issue, but I have the latest drivers for my card installed already.
