Wierd Video Problem

I've looked all over but haven't seen an exact match to my problem.

Over the past few months my video will turn off. Monitor goes into sleep mode. Then the video starts back up on it's own. Monitor turns on. This happens like every 2-3 weeks. It can happen while watching a movie, reading comics on a website or the middle of gaming (like today). Most of the time it's a clean restart but twice the mouse shows up, stuff running in the background, but the screen is black. Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the restart stuff won't turn show up either. Both times I had to manually reset the pc. It starts up normally as such.

This is rare but REALLY ANNOYING.

Anyone know what's going on?

PS: Started after updating to windows 10, ran fine on windows 7

Nvidia Geforce 1050 Ti

 

No idea what might be happening, but this sounds like what can happen when using a security program like NVT EXE Radar Pro. It sometimes will block a Windows program (if set a certain way) and this can easily happen. So I wonder if something is blocking something normal in Windows, causing the screen to go black.

With NVT issue, CTL-ALT-DEL works in Windows 7 and then I select Cancel and I can then see the alert from NVT to choose to allow whatever was blocked.

I keep having bluescreens on one computer, but it's like once a day in the limited account on the computer. In the admin account, the bluescreens are rare, but I know what you mean, it is annoying.

Maybe you could take a look at programs you are running on the system in the system tray or try this:

Maybe you will see something in the startups that you could investigate...
