Hi,



I have an issue for a few weeks now. If i remember correctly my issue started when i set my TV to HDR in windows as I have a monitor and a tv attached to my pc. My issue is that most of the times i open a game, the screen turns black on my monitor for 0.5-5 seconds, then turns back on. Even when the game is in windowed mode the monitor only turns black when i click in the game window. For example, with World of Warcraft, if i play windowed mode, sometimes the game opens and my screen turns black. Then if i click on my 2nd display(tv) the screen turns on and i can see the game in windowed mode. If i click in the games window the screen turns black and my monitor gives the no signal error. The sound etc works fine. My drivers and BIOS are up to date. I tried different display port and hdmi cables too. Also if i use adobe premier sometimes i get a bug that the screen turns black only when i move the mouse.... I mainly play WoW and rocket league, but i got the same issue with other games too.



Specs: ryzen 5800x, rtx3070, Asus TUF B550M-Plus mobo, 32GB RAM

Win version:10.19045 Build: 19045



Thank you in advance for the help!

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard?

You might want to see if using DDU to remove your GPU drivers, then manually reinstall with the latest GPU drivers sourced from Nvidia's support site.

Something tells me your OS might be the root cause of your issue.

I tried removing the driver and reinstalling it. Still have the same issue in WoW. Even if i play in windowed mode i got a 1-2 sec black screen when i click into the game window.
