Hi,

 

have a customer with a computer that keeps blacking out but he's currently working in another country so I can't get hold of his PC, and he isn't the best technically!

 

I've managed to get a dxdiag file out of him but I can't find anything that would suggest the cause of the crashes. However , this admittedly isn't my strong area at all. Are there any sites where dxdiags can be uploaded or shared to get advice on crashes?

 

Thanks,

Does it only happen in games? What games? Do they have an old copy of Teamviewer running?

 

Ask them to do a Malwarebytes scan also in case anything is hidden on the machine.

Sorry for the delay in responding, I had to get more information from him.

 

It's a desktop PC, he's updated the graphics drivers within the past 3 months. It is during gaming but nothing too taxing, and games that have been fine for him in the past 3 years without any hardware or significant software changes on the PC (Diablo 3, Hearthstone, WoW). It's just causing the screen to "black out" - through questioning him i've been able to establish that it isn't turning the machine off, just the screen is going black (monitor still working, screen is just emitting a black display - system noises continue etc.)

 

I have a copy of the dxdiag I can share if anyone knows about this sort of stuff, alternatively if there's a site or tool I can use to upload it to I can go there :)

 

Thanks
