Hi there!
For 2 days i have a problem with HotS. During the match the screen goes black, everything else is working (music keeps playing, i still can communicate with friends via discord, but HotS itself is silent during this). The only solution is to reboot my PC.
(it seems i cannot attach link to my DxDiag file, so here’s some specs:
- Processor: Intel(R) Core™ i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.6GHz
- Memory: 16384MB RAM
- Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 17763) (17763.rs5_release.180914-1434)
- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
- Driver Version: 26.21.14.3086
- Current Mode: 2560 x 1080 (32 bit) (75Hz)
So i’ve been doing some digging, this is what i’ve found:
- This is from the log file from HotS folder (2019-06-15 13.20.21 Graphics.txt):

- This is the log collected by GPU-Z:
(and i cannot include the log file or screenshot of it either, so in short at 6/15/2019 13:27:01 PM everything was normal, GPU Clock was at 1278.3 MHz, Memory at 1752.8 MHz, GPU Temperature at 73 °C, GPU Load at 68%. Next entry is at 6/15/2019 1:27:04 PM, and everything is empty. CPU temperature was both at 68 °C)
I’ve tried reverting GPU driver to a previous versions, update them, redownloading both Battle net client and the game itself, disabling all overlays (discord, Windows game bar, Nvidia Experience), nothing helps.
Tried to play other games ofc, the result is perfectly normal (tried playing Witcher 3, GTA5, Divinity: Original Sin 2).
As can be seen, this is not happening due to power or temperature throttling, something else keeps crashing GPU driver.
Any help, guys?
ps. while trying different “solutions”, i’ve also managed to be thrown into a leavers-pool, ofc. Awesome.
