Using Blender 3.5, screen goes blank while running a render
This is on a refurbished Dell Precision 3530 laptop, i7 8850H CPU, Windows 11. , 32gb with NVIDIA Quadro P600 graphics card,
It has this problem when I use the Cycles renderer, whether I use the CPU or the GPU for rendering.
Does anyone know what to do about this?
Any help would be appreciated. Blender is what I bought this thing for.

When it finishes the job does the screen return?

sometimes. sometimes you have to halt everying to recover

It may just be because that laptop's graphics card has only 4GB and it can't do both render and display at the same time.
