While I was playing GTA 5, I received a message from a friend on Steam, and suddenly my screen went black. Windows 11 was making a popping noise for a bit, and now I can't even access the task manager. Any ideas on what might be going on and how to fix it?

Wait, my PC automatically goes into sleep mode after 20 minutes of inactivity, so maybe that’s what happened? If you can, just leave it for a bit and see if it wakes up. It might just be sleeping.
Your PC could be glitching out. Have you tried forcing a restart with the power button? If you can get back in, it might be a good idea to check for any recent updates or driver issues that could be causing the black screen. Good luck!
It sounds like your graphics card or display drivers might be acting up. Try doing a hard restart of your PC—just hold the power button until it turns off. Once it’s back on, check if that fixes the issue. If you still have problems, try booting into safe mode and rolling back your drivers.
While holding the power button for 5-10 seconds can help to restart your PC, I always suggest using it as a last resort. Just be aware that it might not be the best practice, so try to only do it if you really have to.
