Crashing to a black screen during gaming only.
I am facing crashes where my laptop screen turns black and force quitting games, like Genshin Impact and Dying light 2. In Dying Light 2 the game doesn't even open and just crashes without any type of error messages.In Genshin's case the game at least runs until I try to teleport (it doesn't crash in every teleport. For what I've noticed the chances to crash on a teleport depends on the distance, but even if the distance is small it eventually crashes).
Sometimes when this problem happens the game doesn't close and only the screen gets black in addition to the device freezing.
When a game crashes it freezes the whole system with sometimes requiring me to restart the device. And when it freezes some weird phenomenon's occur such as the whole desktop going black with only the task bar remaining and if the game doesn't crash the task bar sometimes response.
Things I've tried:
- Updated all drivers
- Uninstalled and re-installed GPU drivers
- Re-installed windows
