Hp Gaming Pavilion Screen Randomly Goes Black

[dow1]

Recently, I purchased this laptop. I noticed that the screen randomly goes black, but stays lit like computer is still on. I can still hear all my game sounds, but I cannot interact or do anything. I usually just wait and hope it fixes itself, or restart it. It’s gettinh really annoying and I really hope there’s a way to fix this.

@dow1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I recommend you update the BIOS and the graphics driver from the below link and check if it helps.

If you continue facing the issue, I recommend you download and install HP support assistant and install all the updates.

Here is how it is done.

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

6. Perform any other update management actions as needed.

   • Postpone an update: Click Remind me, and then select a time preference.
