The screen keeps going black today every couple of minutes on PC. I have restarted the computer and the game, the only way to bring it back is to hit alt, ctr, delete and then cancel. Anyone else having this problem today? ---

It might not be an issue with the game but with your video card. Overheating? Dirty fan? Check if the pc does the same when playing something game of equal pc load just to rule out the game itself. My wimpy little NVIDIA GeForce GT530 handles Gems but can’t handle higher graphic and content games. Black screen with reset of computer the only option. ---

Just Gems of War. I have 2 monitors and the other one stays on with no problems. New computer, video card drivers up to date. Sometimes the whole game goes black and other times just certain parts of the game like the background.
