The update process will now begin. Reboot your PC once the update is completed.<\/p>\n<h3 >3. Check Your Monitor&#8217;s Refresh Rate<\/h3>\n<p >Incorrect or unsupported refresh rate may sometimes lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/how-to-fix-screen-flickering-in-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flickering<\/a> or black screen issue. Steps to find out the refresh rate include:<\/p>\n<p ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38973 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Check-Your-Monitors-Refresh-Rate.jpg\" alt=\"Check Your Monitor's Refresh Rate\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p >1. Click on Windows + I keys together.<br \/>\n2. Open Display from System.<br \/>\n3. Click on Advanced display.<br \/>\n4. Find the option Choose a refresh rate.<br \/>\n5. Choose a supported refresh rate from there.<\/p>\n<p >If you have made changes to your refresh rate or resolution in recent times, revert back to recommended settings and see if the issue persists.<\/p>\n<h3 >4. Disable Variable Refresh Rate<\/h3>\n<p >Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) may help in improving the gaming experience, but there may be problems related to the compatibility of VRR with the display monitor, graphics driver, and operating system (Windows). Here is how you may check the setting:<\/p>\n<p ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38972 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Disable-Variable-Refresh-Rate.jpg\" alt=\"Disable Variable Refresh Rate\" width=\"780\" height=\"533\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p >1. Settings &gt; System &gt; Display &gt; Graphics<br \/>\n2. Click on Default graphics settings<br \/>\n3. Click on Variable refresh rate<br \/>\n4. Disable it temporarily<br \/>\n5. Restart the computer<\/p>\n<p >And then check if the black screen problem occurs or not.<\/p>\n<h3 >5. Disable Hardware Acceleration in Problematic Apps<\/h3>\n<p >In case you have a screen that blacks out on its own for a second, but this happens only when you work with a certain application, hardware acceleration might be causing the problem. Programs such as browsers, messengers, video players, etc. use hardware acceleration in order to render content.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/discord-hardware-acceleration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Is Discord Hardware Acceleration? (And Why It May Be Giving You Issues)<\/a><\/p>\n<p >To solve the problem, you need to go to settings of the application in question and find the Hardware Acceleration or Use hardware acceleration when available setting and turn it off.<\/p>\n<h3 >6. Turn Off Power-Saving Display Settings<\/h3>\n<p >Display can be set to automatically turn off after some time of inactivity. While this is not likely to result in blacking out when the PC is being used, tweaking power options may help avoid any power management issues.<\/p>\n<p >Settings &gt; System &gt; Power &amp; battery &gt; Screen and sleep<\/p>\n<p >Configure screen and sleep according to your needs. When doing the test, choose a bigger number before turning the display off. In case the issue happens when the PC is idle, you should particularly consider these options.<\/p>\n<h3 >7. Reset the Graphics Driver<\/h3>\n<p >If there&#8217;s an abrupt blackout in the screen that resumes back after a second or two, consider restarting the graphics driver.<\/p>\n<p >Press Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B<\/p>\n<p >Windows will try to reset the graphics driver. There might be a beep sound and the screen might flicker for some moments. The above-mentioned key combination can be quite helpful if the display driver becomes unresponsive temporarily without needing a system restart.<\/p>\n<h3 ><strong>8. Check for Windows Updates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p >Microsoft frequently comes out with new versions of Windows with bugs, drivers, and improvements. Here is how you can look for updates:<\/p>\n<p ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38971 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Check-for-Windows-Updates.png\" alt=\"Check for Windows Updates\" width=\"780\" height=\"375\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p >1. Windows + I.<br \/>\n2. Select Windows Update.<br \/>\n3. Click on Check for updates.<br \/>\n4. Install all available updates.<br \/>\n5. Restart the computer.<\/p>\n<p >After updating Windows, test if there are still black displays occurring.<\/p>\n<h3 >9. Test the Monitor and Graphics Card<\/h3>\n<p >If none of the above solutions help fix the problem, consider checking the hardware component.<\/p>\n<p >Connect the monitor to another PC. If the monitor goes off, the problem might be in the monitor itself, in the cable, or in the connection to electricity.<\/p>\n<p >Alternatively, you can connect a different monitor to your Windows 11 PC. If it works fine without any problems, the original monitor should be checked or even replaced.<\/p>\n<p >When dealing with desktop computers that use a separate graphics card, make sure the card is connected and that all the connections of the card are connected securely.<\/p>\n<h3 >10. Check for Overheating<\/h3>\n<p >When a graphics card gets too hot, there will be screen instability, particularly while gaming and other processes involving the GPU.<\/p>\n<p >In case the screen goes black mostly in high-performance tasks, use a good hardware-monitoring application to check the temperature of your GPU. It is also important to ensure that your computer has sufficient airflow and the fans\/vents are not clogged with dust.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/fix-gpu-fans-not-spinning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No Display? GPU Fans Not Spinning? Try These Fixes<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 >Conclusion<\/h4>\n<p >Monitor that suddenly goes blank for a second may result from either a simple reason like a loose cable or more complicated ones like graphics driver issues or problems with computer hardware. Begin by trying basic troubleshooting actions like connection check, system update, and the installation of a new graphics driver. After that, try refresh-rate settings, variable refresh rate, hardware acceleration, and power management.<\/p>\n<p >When your monitor blanks out for a second frequently, testing another cable or monitor will allow you to understand if the cause of black-outs is hardware or software related. When the screen blanks out for a second just while running certain programs, concentrate on them.<\/p>\n<p >Using the approach described above, you will be able to identify the cause of your issue and get Windows 11 monitor working correctly.<\/p>\n<p ><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"accordion_sec faq-section\">\n<div id=\"accordion-menu\">\n<p >\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header plus\">Why does my monitor randomly go black for a second?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"accordion-panel\">\n<p class=\"accordion-content aio-answer-block\">There could be a problem with the cable connection, outdated graphics drivers, wrong refresh rate settings, issues with GPU, or simply a Windows display problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p >\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header plus\">Why does my screen randomly go black for a second during gaming?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"accordion-panel\">\n<p class=\"accordion-content aio-answer-block\">During gaming, more load is put on GPU.
