Hi All

I have recently been finding that my PC will have a black screen when I have left it for a while at idle. It doesn't have issues any other time but it has now happened twice when I have left it idle for 20mins or so.

Is this the dreaded blackscreen issue? I cant seem to pin down any error or recreate it.

System specs are in the sig with everything at stock (only OC for benchmarks)
 
When it used to happen for me, to get back you can ctrl alt delete, then task manager to bring the display back.

Will give that a go? I thought maybe that the system had just powered off my screen but it never responds.

What in the task manager brings the display back?

Just get a 780.

I would rather keep the 290 as I am very happy with it. Just not sure what is causing this and looking for a little help
