I am assuming EQ is black... Check your FPS in options of EQ and background FPS. Also the same in MQ.

You have framelimiter turned on

You can turn it off or adjust the settings if you don't want it to do that (but that is what give background toons good performance)
 
hmm i tried to have it this way but my pc laggs out after so many mins and then gpu dx error and crashes
I do not recommend turning it off. I was explaining why your screen is turning black and the two different ways that you can make it not turn black one of them being turning off the brain limiter the other one being adjusting the setting for displaying what happens in the background.

Both I don't recommend turning off

I had to turn off render game scene for it to stop crashing the pc with my 6 man crew, it would go like 10-15 mins then lag out and then crash the graphics card, I have to limit the background as the graphics card seems to hurl a fan like a tornado if I don't, it does sound better when it renders the screen off but yet it still doesn't stop the lag spikes I was getting for some reason anyway I figure ill test this out and see how it is doing and reply back if need to :D thank you for the advice and fix
 
If you have the software installed for your card, you should check its running temp. your card CPU could be over-heating, which might mean your fan is getting old and starting to fail as well. I've had that scenario a few times over the years.
