Continuing the discussion from [Intermitent black screen while playing in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition](https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/intermitent-black-screen-while-playing-in-age-of-empires-ii-definitive-edition/93507):

I’m having the same issue, the PC specs are more than the minimum required, I’ve got all the up to date drivers, Radeon HD6800, fast enough CPU and memory, not sure if the monitor is the problem, running at 60ghz, DVI to hdi lead, or maybe it’s the graphics card - would a nVidia be better, is it a problem with AMD Radeon cards?

The game goes straight back after about 3-5 seconds but it’s annoying!
