I have an Acer Aspire 5820TG laptop, the processor is i5-480M, and the graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6550M. I'm running Windows 7 Home 64 Bit.
Recently I've started getting a problem where my screen suddenly goes black in some video games, namely League of Legends and the Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. If I look closely I can still see some outlines and bright parts, so it looks like the back light is shutting down for some reason. It sometimes recovers in a few seconds if I keep switching windows.
However, I can play some other games just fine (namely Tomb Raider 2013 and DMC: Devil May Cry), and other activities such as word processing and browsing the web do not trigger the issue.
I'm having trouble narrowing down the issue, as I don't know what's causing it. As a last resort, I hit my laptop really hard with the palm of my hand and that didn't seem to do anything either, so I would love to hear what you guys think.
Also, I have updated my graphics drivers as well as DirectX, none of those helped. I have not made any recent modifications to my system.
