Random black screens sound continue tried many solutions
So I recently built an AMD rig and after a month or so started getting random black screens but with the sound continuing while gaming. Then they began happening shortly after restart. Updated to all current bios and gpu drivers and finally just did a fresh Windows 10 install. That was in April. Fast forward to the other day and it started again. Same issue....black screen while in Civ 6 game continued in background...tried Alt-F4 but nothing changed...had to hard reset. On reboot it did it again almost as soon I started a new game. Next reboot it happened when i touched the keyboard to enter password. Next few restarts were all over the place then I got forced to windows recovery environment. Did a new fresh install of windows 10 1803(yes its old but it is the only media i have. as soon as NVIDIA drivers were installed immediately got black screen and gpu fans went to high. I have since swapped 1080 ti out and placed in old INTEL machine for testing and am posting from AMD machine with 970 from INTEL machine. both seem stable at the moment so i am at a loss. Will do further testing with different PSU cables and PCIe riser cable while you kind folks try and witch doctor this one.

Forgot to mention that event viewer has pointed to Desktop Window Manager process being the source so I at least know that but not sure why.
Update 1080 ti is operating fine in INTEL machine and 970 is still operating in AMD machine
