The only solution is to hold the power button in until the power turns off. The server has not crashed, as if I have something playing in a web browser the sound will continue. I'm an Adobe CC user and all my apps are on the latest version.ДЄt random times the screen will go black. I make part of my living with photography and spend a lot of time in Lightroom Classic.

#Dell monitor randomly goes black windows 10#

I have a Dell Precision T3610, six core Intel CPU, 56 GB ram, running the latest Windows 10 with a Nvidia GTX 1050.

#Dell monitor randomly goes black drivers#

This isn't a computer, cable or driver problem - two computers, six cables and latest drivers all around and the problem occurs, so by elimination it sounds like a monitor problem.Someone please talk me off the ledge. Despite updating the Dell drivers, graphic card drivers and the mobo BIOS, the black flicker is unaffected and has recurred with the same frequency. Running latest Win10 on a Gigabyte 1070 card, i7 CPU and pretty high-end parts all around, connecting either with a DP cable (preferred) or HDMI (old skool).

I finally got around to building the gaming rig that had been in parts in my closet for four months.

#Dell monitor randomly goes black mac#

This was the first system I used before building my gaming rig, and I figured it was a Mac problem or driver problem.

#Dell monitor randomly goes black pro#

MacBook Pro running Win7 (for older games) and High Sierra 10.13.3, connected via HDMI cable (1- to 2-second black flicker happens at random on both OSes). This is my monitor for two systems on my desk: I'm curious what BIOS you updated - your laptop? There is no monitor BIOS update, only drivers (which I did). I've got the same issue with anВ AW3418DW ultra-wide that I bought in January 2018. I wish I had unlimited access to additional hardware and accessories to do a true deep-dive isolation analysis, but I left that job over a month ago so I no longer have access to spare monitors, extra cables, and such :) Dropping the resolution seems to have been the work-around for this config. Otherwise, so far, I've been on the machine for about an hour, and no issues. If it was being logged, I'd expect to see warnings and alerts every few seconds, right?Д«ios updated yet? That's worked a few times for me driving new and big displays with dellsI haven't yet. Have you checked the event logs?Nothing obvious jumped out at me that indicates the flickering in as rapid-fire as it was coming.

#Dell monitor randomly goes black plus#

Sounds like the graphics card isn't able to handle the display - the combination of 4K plus size may cause issues. The monitor does have DP (I have it connected to my server so I can switch between inputs*), but the computer doesn't have DP. I'd also try the display port rather than the HDMI lead - did the monitor come with the mini-dp -> DP cable? So I'm crossing my fingers that something in my signal chain was just not playing well with 4K resolution. At least it did last night where I was using my system for about a half hour with zero blinks. I then dropped the resolution from 4K down to the next one below (like 25xx x 10yy). I tried all the refresh rates available, but nothing helped. The XPS apparently has both the nVidia and on-board Intel, and the Intel display driver controls the HDMI out (this is weird to me, and I haven't really investigated this much further). One suggestion on-line recommended adjusting the refresh rate. I don't have a Thunderbolt cable to try and I'm hesitant to buy one just for this. I had an extra HDMI cable, but that didn't resolve it. Many posts had suggested that I return the monitor for an exchange (the packaging material is long gone, and it's a very big, cumbersome monitor). I'm no longer in a position to be able to swap out hardware to do isolation troubleshooting as effectively as I used to, but I was really hoping it wasn't the monitor. Sometimes, it'll only be maybe twice every 10 minutes, but at other times, it's rapid. While working, the screen will go black randomly for about 1-2 seconds. I have the aforementioned U3415w ultra-wide 34' monitor connected via HDMI to my Dell XPS 15. So I figured I'd post this here just to keep it on record and hope that it helps. I did a bunch of searches on this and of course, none of the results from the first 3 pages of the Googles was helpful.
