Screen turns black on a specific time of the day

hi everyone!


so here is the problem. recently, my laptop screen on a specific time of between 5pm to 7pm since tuesday... the screen blinks a couple of times and then turns black but the cursor is still visible. and when i try to press ctrl+alt+del, then screen then turns gray and the cursor is still visible and moving around it can detect links but nothing happening when i click it. the only thing i can get out of it is manually turning the laptop off (long pressing the power button). i tried doing a check disk (/f /r /x) viewed the log, and i really don't know what i am looking at but this caught my attention (attached screenshots). something have to do with the windows photo app.. do you think this could be the cause? im gonna try to uninstall it and see if the problem is still going to exist.


here's the event log of the check disk:

Hi ZuluFoxtrot,

Could you please upload some logs using our log collector and also upload an export of your Application Event Log?

Having more information about your system will help us understand what's going on.

as requested... please see attached object.

Well to start, I see that there are some errors with your drive.

 Description: 
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.

I would suggest running HD Tune, click the "Error Scan" tab and then "start" to check for bad blocks. Also look at the "Health" tab to see if any problems are found.


Another issue I saw was that you are getting some network controller resets with your Wifi.

Here is the latest driver however it looks like they do not officially support Windows 10. I'd try the newest release for Windows 8.1. You are running version 14.2.1.2 and the latest release is 14.3.2.1.

Rule 4
No piracy or discussion of piracy allowed at all. Such as software, music, videos and other intellectual property violations (e.g. downloading youtube videos locally etc) - it is forum policy that no help shall be given to people who knowingly steal software or services.


One of the main reasons for this is that the act of pirating the software will inevitably change the working of the software and make investigation and repair impossible. Please install a legitimate copy of the software and if you are still experiencing the issue we will be pleased to assist - No further assistance will be provided until we are satisfied that the software is genuine.




No help will be provided whilst piracy is present.

uh... ok. well... anyways... it was the windows photo app that was causing the problem. and that rule #4? i guessed i missed reading it... thanks anyway.
