Frequent screen unresponsivity, processess seem to keep running
Hello. I have no idea what sub-forum this would ideally belong to. I have a rather odd issue which I can't describe without a lot of verbose.
The error occurs once in, say, every running time which exceeds one hour, but it might happen in the first 5 minutes of run time or not at all in 3 hours. At seemingly random times, my monitor gives signs of freezing. Firstly, the image of whatever video is running on youtube is freezing, while I can still use my cursor. Then the cursor freezes too and after a few moments my screen turns black (black light), then it turns off and back again to the black light and the cycle is repeated indefinitely with no other fix than pressing the power button. Only once it occured that after about 3 or 4 ons and offs, it came back to what I was doing before the freeze. The sound of the video is uninterrupted (not to imply that the error only occurs when watching yt), and so has happened once in a Meet and I could still hear what was being said without any distorsions or audio bugs, but at other times, when for example playing video games, the sound stops as well. I have no idea what to do or what to search for, the only useful mention might be that the only hardware in my PC older than ~one year is my CPU, about 5-6 years old. Please instruct me on what to do and what pics/info to post and I will follow, thank you greatly!
