    This all started with the creators update. For a while I was getting nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered now after a complete Windows re-install from a thumb drive I get no warnings or Errors. I have tried every new Nvidia driver with no success, I have contacted Nvidia and Microsoft support with no solution. I have gotten an updated BIOS from http://forum.notebookreview.com/members/eurocom-support.681497/ and still black screen either after 3 - 5 mins of gaming to instantaneous after opening a game. I just ran the Super position benchmark was getting 11FPS for about 1 min into it and then black screen and then the Fan profile goes to max.

    AFAIK, black screen with full fans and flashing status LED is an EC warning. It can be a number of things, but assuming you haven't done any crazy overclocking it's probably overheating.

    Try running GPU-Z or similar and keep an eye on temps.

    Temps are below 70 when running benchmarks just can't finish a benchmark.

    Yes, it sounds like either a video card or main board failure. @EKcore
