Hi,
After downloading the latest windows update 3 days ago, the screen randomly goes black for a second or 2, then returns back to normal. Seems to only happen when watching video's online, from switching the video to full screen and vice versa. All my drivers are up to date.

Did the windows update cause this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all

for the last couple of days I have been experiencing random blackouts when the 4k monitor I recently got as part of a build, began to go black for 1-2 seconds at a time.

I noted that when I dropped the refresh rate from 60hz to 30hz this problem went away -

Mainboard: Asus Tuf B360 Pro
CPU: i7 8700
GPU: Asus Dual 2080 O8G
PSU: Coolermaster Masterwatt 750 Bronze
Monitor: Electriq 28inch 4k 60hz tn - claims 1ms but has 5ms grey to grey...

If any has an idea whether this is Windows related or due to cheap monitor giving out, would welcome your help, cheers.
