I've been experiencing a strange issue where the Command Prompt window pops up unexpectedly, showing the path to system32. This happens every 5 to 15 minutes, and when it does, my display goes blank with a message saying "no display input detected" before the CMD window disappears. This started an hour ago after my computer blue screened. I haven't installed anything new recently, other than a couple of popular Stardew Valley mods from Nexus. I've run scans with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, and both came back clean. I'm really puzzled and a bit worried about this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I even recorded a quick clip of it happening here: .

If you suspect malware, definitely dive into some guides on malware cleanup. They can be very useful to ensure your system is clear. Also, just keep an eye on any weird task or script you might have set up; I once had an odd script running that caused similar issues!
You might want to check out the Task Scheduler. It could be running some task every 5-15 minutes without you realizing it. Are you the only user on this account, or do you have other profiles? That could help narrow things down.
Don't forget to check for crash dump files! If you can access Windows normally or in Safe Mode, browse to C:WindowsMinidump for any dump files left from the BSOD. Collect those for analysis—it helps to have multiple files for a clearer picture of what went wrong.
