Good old BLACKSCREEN crash

Happy_Gnom · July 2017

So this problem comes from ancient times when teso wasn't even released. About a month ago I've bought TESO, but this blackscreen trouble makes me realy nervouse. I've tried all kinds of solutions from old forum threads starting with drivers-juggling (upgrading, downgrading and so on), over and downlocking my vid.card, updating C++, DirectX, changing it from DX11 to DX9, trying to switch on and off different settings and so on. Plz, help me, I realy want to enjoy my gaming experience, but this thing keeps ocuring even more often, than a week ago. Thanks.

Windows 7
Nvidia GTX 770
Intel core i5

Dust in machine? (clean PC out). Something overheating (monitor GPU/CPU temps to see). Badly installed GPU drivers (uninstall using DDU then install chosen drivers). Failing PSU?

Done it all. I've thought bout my PSU, but other "heavy" games like Witcher 3, GTA V, Dark Souls III, HITMAN and so on work perfectly on high settings, though they, well, look beter than ESO.

You're in hell territory with blackscreen crashes, your best bet was to hope it was a badly installed GPU driver or something - you actually use DDU to uninstall drivers and not just rely on NVIDIA to sort it out?

ESO seems to do weird things to our computers, it's still possible it might be a PSU draw issue only happening with this game. Or maybe just a setting you have for the game your GPU hates - can you show what your GPU is doing under load (while playing ESO) - use GPU-Z to monitor your GPU (while playing ESO) and post a screenshot of that up here.

Also does the black screen end with a computer reboot or does it just go away by itself?
