Display Stops Responding

[PHW0AR]

Hi all,

as of this morning whenever playing WF for more than 5 mins my display would lose connection to the PC and I would be forced to do a hard reset.

After trying everything that you normally do (GPU updates, check game file integrity and d/l whatever is needed) to no avail I decided to check my Windows Updates and this morning I got update KB3119147 for a Security Update.

I uninstalled this and rebooted and after no crashes at all.

 

Nvidia GeForce 760 4GB.

 

Just putting it here in case others are having this issue.

It could be your GPU is acting up.

Since removing the Windows Update everting is fine.
Forgot to also mention that Plex would not work when I had the Update installed (running data from an Ext HDD). After removing the update Plex works.

Get random instances of a black screen here. Sometimes I can play for a few hours, sometimes it black screens and I can still control my frame for a while (I can hear gunshots and powers being used) and the problem seems worse on Borderless Fullscreen, as nothing responds, I can't even open up Task Manager to kill the process so I'm forced to restart the computer. Warframe is the only game I have that does this... and I have Arkham Knight :s...

 

GTX 970

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

AMD FX-6300 @4.4GHz

 

Nothing's overheating and everything is smooth before the abrupt black screen and this happened rarely in U17 but has become more frequent in U18.
