screen blanks out and game minimzes to taskbar

[clodhopper51]

I have an issue with my computer in that while playing along and all of the sudden the screen goes black and the game goes to the task bar and this is almost all games NOT CivVI or DDO they stay up and no screen going black. I have my puter open to allow air flow and believe me it is NOT getting hot right now my home's heater is on all the time with the outside temp going to minus degrees tonight.
Would be nice to know why this is happening and I have watched the YOUTUBE on this and did what it says and it still does it I just got a new GTX730 and it and my puter are up to date I check quite often sometimes 2x a day

Sounds to me as if something else is grabbing focus from your games. Since it's happening in other games I doubt that it's a Farming Simulator problem. I would make sure that no unnecessary tasks are running in the background and that Windows is free from viruses and the like.

Thought of something else: are you playing the game(s) at the same resolution as your desktop? In other words, if your desktop/Windows resolution is 1920x1080 but the game is at a lower resolution that might cause it to minimize as well. I seem to recall that happening to me at one point with a game though I do not remember which game.

Also, please post your log so we can try to rule out a FarmSim problem.

My monitor is set at the 1920x1080 I use razer to kill all unnecessary programs including antivirus and malware programs and then they run immediately after I restore them.
