If I have my browser maximized in my center monitor, whenever I go to search on Lemmy or go to my inbox and it is empty, the screen goes completely blank/black. It looks as if it lost power. If the browser is not maximized, it wont happen. This happens whether I use Chrome or Firefox. Any ideas on how to start troubleshooting?
- OS: KDE Neon 6.0
- KDE PLasma: 6.0.2 (happened with KDE 5.x too)
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
- Monitor messing up in connnected to the HDMI port.
- Other two monitors are connected (a) to the DisplayPort and (b) DVI-D
Did you ever find a solution to this? How old is your graphics card? It might be dying.
Nope. It also happened when I was logging into google. When the password section came up, it went completely dark. Luckily, I can move the mouse to the top of the screen, click-hold, and pull down, which will un-maximize the browser, and the screen will come back on.
The video card is an GTX 1060 6GB. I don’t know when I got it exactly, but I did get it brand new sometime around 2017, so it’s about 7 years old.
