Windows 11 — Intermittent Black Screen While System Continues Running, Persists After Fresh Windows Installation


As someone early in the thread said that my stuff may be hardware failing. Would this card be worth a replacement for it? This 3070 is 6 years old give or take.

I run a 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and every few weeks I get a complete black screen when I'm doing something. As soon as I finish saying WTF it comes back and everything is fine. So far not a big enough problem for me to take any comprehensive action. Maybe it's just an RTX thing.

Do you get the same thing I do? The fans spin up like an airplane, and then poof, the screen goes black. But it seems like the system is still working fine, like playing a game, watching a video, etc.?

I don't get the fan spin up, just a black blank screen all of a sudden. Then after a second or two the screen comes back and everything is fine. Very strange.

Here is the BSOD from post #6 you wanted me to run.
Click to expand...

Are you just running only the crucial ram or also running GSkill?

Memory report states pair of BL32G36C16U4B.M16FB1 is in the A channel and pair of F4-3600C16-16GVKC is in the B channel.

Different capacities and manufacturers plus different sub-timings can cause stability issues.
