Hi
If the info above and my search results are accurate - then you triggered the 1b8 log entry....
"The VIDEO_MINIPORT_BLACK_SCREEN_LIVEDUMP live dump has a value of 0x000001B8. It indicates that a user initiated MINIPORT live dump for black screen scenarios has occurred."
As for the 141 code
"The VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED live dump has a value of 0x00000141. This indicates that one of the display engines failed to respond in timely fashion."
This MAY be related to the video card or its drivers - I would start there. It may be the cause of the black screen or 'frozen' screen.
If you are overclocking your GPU or (anything else) then revert to standard settngs.
reseat you GPU,
Remove and re-install GPU drivers
Run any diagnostic tests from BIOS and GPU manufacturer.
See how you go.
i did a clean install for drivers a week ago and that seemed to temporarily fix the issue but its started again. ran sytem health commands, not overclocking, temps are never above 70 for gpu. ive tried a lot of fixes and am at a loss
Hi spencer, welcome in community
Usually when there is 'A problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly' Indicates that can subsist a problem with the graphic card.
Can you share the details of your pc, please? When does this problem occur? During specific operations?
Let me know
