Latest Graphics driver update causing random black screen that lasts different times

I'm not great with this sort of stuff but not a total newbie. This could be entirely coincidental.

I've had 3 updates for my Graphics driver and prior to the latest update, everything was fine. Now, the screen will randomly go black for a few seconds and then come back on. The latest update that was installed is:

 Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.4314 for Intel® Arc™ Graphics, 11th-13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor graphics, and related Intel Pentium® and Celeron® processors
Version:
31.0.101.4314
Release date:
April 25, 2023
Size:
602.47 MB
 
Any ideas for fixes would be greatly appreciated.

In order to better assist you, please provide the following:

Hello Steve3373, 



Thanks for the information provided. I would like you to try the following:


1. Try a clean installation of the Intel driver:

2. Did you check with a different monitor or TV?

3. Did you test a different cable (HDMI, DP, Thunderbolt)?

4. Did you run all the Windows optional updates?

5. Is the issue present in the BIOS?

Good day Deivid

My apologies for the delay- I was taken on an unexpected holiday for my birthday!

 

I will attempt a clean installation but let me answer the other questions first

 

I did check a different monitor and with different cables but still have the same issue

At the time all updates had been done and were up to date but I will also check that again now

Please explain what you mean by "is the issue present in BIOS"? 

 

Thanks again for all your help. I will do what I can with the other options while I wait for your reply

Have a lovely weekend

 

Steve

Hello Steve3373, 


Thanks for your response. I understand that you may need some time to perform the clean install steps. 


I would like to know if the issue with the black screen occurs when you are at the BIOS menu or if the issue is only present in Windows.


Also, can you add the brand and model name of your motherboard?
