Hi guys,
after installing W10 Creators Update I have following issues:
- randomly the cursor slows down in Windows and the screen turns black after some time
- after some time when I play games (ie BF1), the fps drops from 100fps to like 3-5 and the title stops responding, if I wont kill the game in Task Manager in time, black screen will occur as well

The temps are OK, PSU is more than enough - 1000W. The issue was not happening before creators update. I rolled back to like 3 different versions of previous nVidia drivers but the same issue occurs.

I have 2x GTX 1080 FE and Acer XB270HU G-Sync screen.

Im not a nube user, buidling PCs for myself and friends for over 20 years but with this one I have tried everything

I guess I need to wait until Mircosoft/nVIdia will patch it? Any ideas?

Ha! I have fixed it. I have changed Monitor refresh rate value in nVidia Control Panel 3d settings from "Maximum monitor refresh rate" to "Controled by application". After reinstalling the drivers/OS update this value must have changed somehowe causing conflicts. SO far 1h in BF1 and in the OS and no issues. Still using 381.89 and W10 1607.
