Issue with Black screening

Shortly after I launch the game and after loading into the world, my monitor will shut off. I'm still able to hear music but unable to move or get the monitor to come back on. I don't believe its a hardware issue for the monitor more so compatibility with the GPU ( Radeon RX580 ) or the CPU ( AMD Ryzen 5 ) Alas the issue has persisted for a few weeks now. Any ideas or recommendations? Please help :D
P.S. I was able to construct and explore for a few days before, experiencing the black screen issues.

Alright lads, I've made sure i was using the recommended settings for display, as well as running through Vulkan, I was able to play for 13 mins 24 secs. This is longer than all previous runs since I have been experiencing the issue. Again I'd like to thank all those willing to lend an idea, I'm happy to try anything constructive!

Try to alt-enter to change fullscreen/windowed mode, and/or change resolution.



Or he is not waiting for the game to load properly
I wait to load in to the main menu and as well as the game world when I see my character exclaim I HAVE ARRIVED, then proceed into trying to accomplish various tasks.
Is there an additional step to the loading process I'm not waiting for?

Is your monitor actually turning off or just no longer displaying the game, because that is a big difference.

Probably the graphics driver crashing. Perhaps see if the driver is up to date or try a different version if it is?

Have you tried the vulkan display option?
I was able to log in and play for a bit longer using the Vulkan option when starting but still experienced the black screen after aprox 10 mins, this was longer than previous between loading into and spawning into game and experiencing the black screen! Thank you, i will use this option and check the resolution.

I really appreciate everyone's help and advice! :D
