Hello all, I was able to get a Asus x99-A II mobo and a i7 5960x cpu from work. so far with that board I've haven't any more black screens. with my EVGA x79 dark mobo and 4930K setup, I got black screens with anything corsair running. After switching, I'm able to run ICUE all day while gaming and 3D creating. I know it's not a fix but, maybe if you're able to get a different mobo and cpu your faith in Corsair may be restored.

Welp, It was three days before I got a black screen without renaming CPUIDSDK. I decided to run superposition benchmark then I got one. Back to renaming the .DLL files.

Hi meleemike, I installed it last night, so far so good. I'll update when I get home tonight. Cheers

@Jergarmy the only way to keep your computer from (for now) blackscreening is disable the startup of anything Corsair. that'll change if they add support for the X79 chipset and it looks like ASUS boards. I'm also getting the blackscreens on my EVGA X79 Dark board.

Hi DevBiker, I tried that with ICUE, CPUID ran even though the files were renamed. When I renamed the files when LINK was installed the "fix" worked. That's why I was keep it from running at boot. I don't mind keeping it off as long I know that my computer isn't going to black screen every time something is put under load. Thanks for the reminder for renaming though.

I spent about year trying to fix this until I found this thread. I just keep the app from launching, I don't keep my computer as long as I used but when I do run it for a few days without ICUE or LINK running I don't get blackscreens anymore. I know this will go away when I upgrade my X79 build but abandoning a whole chipset because Intel did years ago isn't right. I guess i'm not upset Corsair anymore knowing that it's only affecting the X79 chipset (and ASUS but I don't have ASUS anything) and a upgrade will fix it, at least for me. I like the fact that devs are actually responding to our complaints unlike other companies that have a forum for users to help other users instead of the devs owning it fixing it on their level. Knowing that it's a software based problem and not my components takes a load off knowing that I can hold out until Zen 2 releases for my upgrade.

I ran my computer for the last 36 hrs, no black screens. I changed the CPUIDSDK.DLL name, yeah CLINK didn't show any data from any of the sensors, but it "fixed" the black screens. There's definitely a communication issue/bug with CPUID and the rest of CLINK/iCUE. I'll be trying out iCUE tonight to see if it gives me the sames result as everyone else.

I've been looking for a solution since Oct 2017. I thought it was my video card and my power supply. But, I did notice this happened around the same time my CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 died and I replaced it with a H100i V2 which recommended to use CLINK. I didn't even think that would be the problem. I'll try uninstalling CLINK when I get off work. I wanted to hop into this thread to let you know this isn't only a ASUS thing. My EVGA X79 Dark (4930K) is also black screening too.
