WIndows Black Screen

Its not dead screen issue

It happens randomly while watching youtube or anything on browser (brave,chrome).

Event that might have lead to this, I started using brave, didnot use it as default, started using it to watch adless youtube when after a week this black screen stuff started to happen, then i didnt know why it was happening so i just ignored it, then i saw it was majorly happening while using youtube on brave, so i shifted to chrome because after a week on brave the black screen was inevitable as soon as 5 seconds of opening in brave. Then i switched to chrome, it solved it but not totally, now it happens randomly , not many times but few, not annoying.

Clues:-

  1. I can access taskbar apps previews, even hover over to the preview and watch the preview at maximum screen size but clicking brings the black screen.
  2. I can use windows start button to shutdown restart, whats surprising is , i can see the small interface which we get after clicking on start button while the screen for rest of every thing is black.
  3. Theres a small, tiny sneak peek line in the right side of the screen clicking upon which i can right click my mouse and refresh and stuff, even open apps that are placed on that side of screen.
  4. turns back normal just after restarting.
  5. Also, sliding gesture on touchpad helps to bring the taskbar and taskbar apps.
