Random flashing black screen

[The-Eradicator]

I'm using a Windows 10 64bit PC with and Nvidia Geforce 1050 TI video card. I also get random freezing. This wasn't happening on Windows 7.

Have you updated your graphics driver? Go to nVidia's, or your graphics card manufacturer's, website and download the latest driver for the 1050 Ti. Edited April 22, 2018 by JediQuaker

I and many players are using Win 10 and most of us seem to not have freezing issue caused by Win 10.

 

By "Freezing", do you mean:

 

1. Swtor action freeze, animation and sound still going on, resume to normal after a while.

2. Swtor screen temporary freeze, resume to normal after a while.

3. Swtor freeze forever, turns white after a while, and must be killed.

4. Swtor make windows freeze, windows resume to normal after a while. (swtor may recover or may crash).

5. Swtor make windows freeze to blue screen of death and restarts.

6. Other, please describe.

I have the latest driver.

I forgot to mention it, but the freezing, of course, is not necessarily the fault of the graphics driver. It could be caused by the audio driver, the LAN driver, or any other driver.

 

So, are ALL your drivers - audio, chipset, network - up to date? (Simply checking Windows Update might be enough)

 

Also, what sort of computer - desktop, laptop - is it. In either case, check for dust build up that could be causing overheating. If it's a laptop, try reducing your graphics settings to produce less heat.

 

P.S. Things like this would go faster if you had put the status of your drivers and a basic idea of your hardware into your original post.

It was due to overheating.
