Windows 10 Display Issues: Screen Flickering, Wrong Resolution, or Black Screen

I'm experiencing persistent display issues on my Windows 10 PC where the screen flickers randomly, the resolution changes on its own to an incorrect setting, or the display goes completely black for several seconds before returning to normal. These problems happen during normal use, not just when running demanding applications, and I've already tried updating my graphics drivers, checking my display cables, and adjusting the resolution settings manually, but the issues keep coming back, making it difficult to work or even navigate my system reliably, so I'm hoping someone can help me identify the root cause and find a permanent fix for this frustrating display problem.

    Hi Allonso​ ,

    try these steps for troubleshooting

     

    • Connect your PC to a different monitor to rule out a display issue.
    • Perform a clean reinstall of your graphics drivers using DDU.
    • Check your CPU and GPU temperatures to make sure nothing is overheating.
    • Run Windows Memory Diagnostic to test your RAM.
    • Review Event Viewer for any display or hardware-related errors.
    • If available, test with integrated graphics or another GPU.
