DrwafflesI figured mine was due to the monitor not getting the wake up signal from the display port.HDMI isn't an issue, but Display port wouldn't even show the bios. Pulled the power out the wall, and it came back to life.
theskyisthelimit99Just an update, it was suggested in another thread, that going back to 456.71 driver would cure the sleep issue and bsods.So far i'm happy to say it has (even trying ram at defaults with cpu at defaults with that newest driver didnt). Its pulling a ton of (expected) watts though, 10900k 1.339 load 5.1ghz with 43" lcd and peripherals im sitting around 705 watts.

If your monitor has a "Deep Sleep" setting --> turn it Off .. this is a known issue Some monitors are just problematic & require you to remove power
vcastHaven’t dug into the issue yet, just received my 3080 FTW3 today, but have had a couple black screen flashes, (3-5 second of black screen), with windows almost looking like they got moved around on the screen after the flash. Has happened while on the desktop. Also had a 5 sec freeze up in GTAv, haven’t done a lot of gaming yet though.
JakeS407My 3070 black has been doing this. Freezes then a 5 second black screen. Everything seems to work just fine afterwards except Destiny 2 wont load up. Also, out of the three DP on the back, one works fine, one screws up the resolution, and the other just go in and out repeatedly. Havent tried another DP cable to see if thats the problem though.

Cool GTXVery likely a Nvidia Driver issue at this point Did you try / TEST --> the Nvidia 456.71 driver
Nereus Just posted this on another thread, but I'll add it here, seems relevant: I've been getting the nvlddmkm error multiple times playing Civ VI DX12. While looking for solutions, one thing I found which may impact black screens is changing power plan to 'High Performance' instead of the apparent default 'Balanced' in Windows 10, and then a couple of additional steps as follows:Start button > Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings (text link which opens a new window) > The window may only show 'Power Saver' and 'Balanced' plans - if so, click the little menu arrow for 'Additional Plans' and you'll find 'High Performance' there. Select it.Next step is to click the text link 'Change Plan Settings' next to 'High Performance' and you'll be in a new screen where you can change display times etc. Below that is a text link 'Change Advanced Power Settings' ..click it. A new box will open titled "Power Options" and the drop down list at the top should now be showing 'High Performance (Active)'. If not, change it so it does. In the list below it, expand the 'PCI Express' option, and then expand the 'Link State Power Management' option. If it's not already set to "off", change it to 'off' and click 'Apply' at the bottom of the box.That's it. Apparently it can help alleviate the nvlddmkm issue, and more relevant to this thread, it may also help with the black screens.. time will tell. The PCIe Link State Power Management setting is basically how long it takes to come out of sleep state (latency), but seems to have helped some people.
vulcZ Thanks for sharing. I checked my settings and unfortunately for me I already have my settings set this way, and I still experience occasional black screens (with NVLDDMKM errors in event viewer). Happens rarely enough to where I can probably wait for a driver update. I'm still 99% sure this isn't a hardware issue, so no need to RMA.

vulcZ ...blah...NVCP -> Power Management Mode "Optimal Power" -- setting to High Performance causes GPU clock speed bug that locks GPU clock at 1800mhz even while idle at desktop....blah...
LocutusHUNvulcZ ...blah...NVCP -> Power Management Mode "Optimal Power" -- setting to High Performance causes GPU clock speed bug that locks GPU clock at 1800mhz even while idle at desktop....blah... And this is exactly the workaround, that prevents these black screens, until nvidia fixes their drivers.
