    Windows freezes and show black screen for a few seconds


    Windows occasionally freezes and briefly displays a black screen for a few milliseconds to seconds before returning to normal. No error messages appear during this issue. I have attempted to do a fresh installation of Windows using the media creation tools and have reinstalled Windows. Additionally, I installed the graphics driver from the official AMD website and other drivers from the GIGABYTE website. All components are just a few days old.My Components:AMD 7000 Series Ryzen 9 7950X 3D Cooler Master MWE 750 Gold V2 Power Supply GIGABYTE X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Motherboard

    Windows keeps Freezing + Black screen every couple of seconds

    Hey dalchina,

    thanks again for the tipp.

    The freezing gets unbearable when running ProcMon. If I'm fast enough with the 5 seconds of normal usability, I can get it running with a filter. When it freezes with ProcMon running, it either crashes or freezes for 5-10 minutes. Only to run again for 5 seconds.

    I tried that for an hour and I think, a Nvidia programm is always on the list (of the 5 minutes) after a crash.

    When doing a clean boot, i.e. disable all services in msconfig, the issue remains, no matter which combination of services are enabled or disabled.

    As I've already tried to use the latest Nvidia driver, do you have any idea, what I could do please?

    I'm currently in the event viewer and it seems that there is an error related to an unknown describtion which occurs after all freezes with a short black screen. However, the entry reads something regarding a Video device.

    Best regards

    Black screen after 'Starting Windows' sequence

    Sounds like the old... windows black screen of death.

    Try this quoted from "VisiHow" article "Repair Windows 7 Black Screen of Death":

    They, also, have some other options there, too.
    Google search and you will find a lot of the "Windows Black Screen of Death with cursor" fixes.
