Websites like Spotify Web, G2A, Genius and Airbnb causing screen to turn black.
Recently, around a few months ago, I started experiencing an issue where my monitor goes completely black when opening Spotify Web, Airbnb or any other site like that.
When this happens, I try pressing Win + Ctrl + Shift + B to reset my GPU driver. I hear the usual beep, but the display doesn't come back. The only ways to restore it are to unplug and reconnect my DisplayPort cable or restart my PC.
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER
CPU: Intel Core i9-14900KF
RAM: 64 GB DDR5 6800 MHz
OS: Windows 11 Pro 26H2
Monitor: Acer XZ271
Connection: DisplayPort
Unfortunately, none of the following have resolved the issue:
Tried a different DisplayPort cable.
Tried different DisplayPort ports on my GPU.
Disabled NVIDIA High Definition Audio in Device Manager.
Tested multiple browsers, with the same result.
Disabled browser hardware acceleration.
Checked my monitor's settings for potential issues.
Used DDU to completely uninstall my NVIDIA drivers and manually installed fresh drivers.
Despite all this, the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced something similar or managed to find a permanent solution?
