25x 144Hz monitor keeps going black on windowed borderless games.

Sometimes it's ok but most of the time when trying to play it'll just go black when I move the mouse, it works fine for other purposes such as web browsing.

It's still connected when it goes black, windows recognises a monitor there and I still get audio feedback when moving the mouse around.

I'm using the correct driver, my GPU driver is up to date and am connected via a display port

This happens if the monitor is 144Hz or 120Hz, however if I update the Hz it should use while the game is open it stops going black

@brantodb01 Here's a few steps that should help:

Go to your Windows display settings, hit the Advanced Display settings button at the bottom of the page. Under the monitor listing, hit Display adapter properties for display #. In the pop up hit the monitor tab, and change the drop down menu to 144Hz.

That's how I got the monitor to run at 144Hz or 120Hz, but the problem is that the screen goes black while playing games at these Hz

If I change the Hz while the game is open it fixes it but only for that session, is there anything I can do to make it so I don't have to use this work around every time I want to play a game?

@brantodb01 If that's what you've been doing all along and you are being forced to do it each time you need to use a game, you may want to check the device with an alternate monitor to identify the cause of the failure, and let me know how that goes.

Yeah it's definitely just this monitor for whatever reason. Is there something I can do to fix it or is it best to just return it?

@brantodb01 It's best you get yourself a replacement, let me know how that goes,

Have a good day!
