Blackscreen while gaming

Hello, I’m a new EndeavourOS owner and I’m having a problem. While gaming (mainly Foxhole and TF2), after about 2-3 hours, the screen suddenly goes black and the only solution is to restart the computer. What could be the cause? Is it due to the Nvidia drivers, which are still being tested?

Welcome to the community @Blendzior98 :smiley: :enos_flag:

Gaming on Linux and the Nvidia drivers for gaming, are pretty solid and the sort of thing you’re experiencing isn’t normal.

But that said, there are certain configurations, software and hardware, that may have issues, or perhaps not be fully or appropriately configured.

You might share your hardware details:

And your Nvidia drivers:
