PC blackscreens while playing specific games
My PC will black screen during specific games at certain times. the PC stays on, the monitors just die. I have to reboot to reset the situation. the black screening is pretty consistent with the games in question. Most games run absolutely fine and have no issues.
I know a specific game that I can consistently get to black screen in about 10 seconds in a certain menu so thankfully I can test fixes fairly quickly.
I am unsure if it is a GPU issue, CPU issue, voltage issue, or something else.
I am even unsure if it is a software issue in some form. I reinstalled windows a year or two ago and the issue was reduced after the reinstall but still happens.
nothing is overclocked. never tried it before.
i thought it may be an overloaded PSU (the PC is a chimera of parts over 10+ years, kept adding to it, thought I might have overtaxed it), but a higher wattage PSU made no difference.
GPU stress tests never make it black screen even under heavy load.
tried different voltages in MSI afterburner but to no success so far.
graphics drivers updates make no difference. running games with or without AMD adrenaline software active makes no difference.
again, it only seems to crash in specific games at specific times. which can be quite odd because some of the game triggers seem to have little or no graphics load. and I play some games that put a heavy load on the GPU and it handles them fine and never blackscreens.
it doesn't seem to be tied to overheating. I'm lucky if I ever even hit 60C. it crashes in the 40sC at times.

I struggled with random black screens in specific games too,despite stable temps and a reliable PSU, similar to your setup. What actually resolved it for me was disabling the in-game overlays provided by PC apps. These overlays sometimes conflict with the game’s graphics pipeline. If you're using any third-party Roku or video player overlays (like BlackHole APK’s floating player overlay), try disabling it before launching the game. immediately stopped getting black screens. Hope this helps.
I had the same issue with my PC black screening during certain games like Avatar World. Some high-performance games worked fine, but specific menus would crash instantly. I tried everything — updating drivers, changing PSU, running stress tests, even checking temps (they were always below 60C). Nothing worked. The issue was fixed only when I reinstalled the game from a trusted source. I downloaded it from http://avatarwrldapk.com and the problem stopped completely. Sometimes it's not your hardware — it's the corrupted or modified game files. Always install games from clean and authentic sources.
