morgan32 403 Posted January 8, 2013 If you're using a laptop it could be overheating. You should run virus and malware programs to take a check. Also, clean up unused programs and try to rinse it a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamP 81 Posted January 8, 2013 Do you have a 200 series Nvidia card by chance? That's a fairly common problem with them. I call it the black screen of death! If not, then I suggest you check your Windows Event Viewer and see if there are any flat out errors in the logs there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
