Question Why is this happening? / PC random black screens but my pc is still on.

[LinKueiShadow]

SO…
I have been having this issue for months and I'm not sure if its hardware or a software problem but my screen will go black at random times, only leaving me to shut off my pc (cause its still on after black screen) and turn it back on. This black screen thing can happen at ANY time at the least you would expect it. Now every time I would do this I would hear some kind of error and i'm not even sure if thats even the main issue. But I can look in event viewer and see what this BS is all about.



All of the errors in my event viewer says

"The NVIDIA LocalSystem Container service terminated with the following error: A generic command executable returned a result that indicates failure."

And there are like a ton of these errors with that same message

If ANYONE is having this same issue or similar please respond.

Full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?

When screen goes black, thy the following command: hold down Windows key and press Ctrl + Shift + B on your keyboard.
Look if image comes back.

If it does, good, it narrows down things.
This command restarts GPU drivers. Note: this command may not work when you are in-game when screen goes black.

If not, issue is more severe.
If you boot into Safe Mode, does the black screen issue remain? Or is everything fine in Safe Mode?

Are you running latest GPU drivers?

So sorry for the late reply.. I’ve been busy but yes I was running the latest drivers even though because of my problems I cannot access geforce experience.

And i tried the ctrl+shift+b and nothing worked and yes it even black screened in safe mode.

But these black screens happen so randomly . Like you’ll never see it coming.

and let me get this out the way that my RTX 3080 TI was purchased from new egg in 2021 and I learned recently that they have been kind on a downfall so not sure if its got affected by that.

But yeah thats my update so far and like I said its been like this for months.
