    Intermittent black screen
    « on: October 04, 2018, 06:02:57 AM »
    Hello,

    I have a problem with my pc. When I browse it the screen will sometimes go black for a second, i would see just the cursor and the UI will look broken for a second after.

    Here you can see how it looks. https://youtu.be/qRKoGOTP2N0

    Specs:

    AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

    AMD FX-4300 3.8GHZ

    4GB RAM

    ASRock 980DE3U3S3

      Thank you but it didn't do the trick. So I need a new GPU?

        Install the driver from the CD that shipped with the card...reboot,

        Hint: Newer drivers ain't always better

          I don't have that disk but I installed an older driver version from 2017. It did't solve the problem, but I found an solution. If I enter bios, I reset bios to default settings, it will work ok, but if I try to play a game it crashes.
