Monitor turns off when I go to Fullscreen
When I start the game up in windowed mode it works fine but I have an issue. If I try to boot up fullscreen it turns off my monitor then turns it back on then all I can see is the bf1 cursor and all ...

Hey @ragnarok013 here are my specs
OS: Windows 7 ultimate
Processor: Intel Core i5 6500 3.2 GHz 6Mb
Memory: 8gb of ram
Graphics card: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 WF OC 6GB
Card is directx 12 compatible
200 mbps internet connection
400 gb of free space in hardrive
I get no error codes or messages, as I said it just turns off the monitor then turns it back on. After that all I see is the in game cursor and I can also hear the in game music

@Goodlifeway The thing that jumps out at me first is that your processor is just below the minimum required to run BF1 which may be a contributing factor in your full screen issue and most likely one of the reasons behind the stutter. You can see how your processor stacks up against the minimum required processor for BF1 here: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-6500 In addition to your CPU being below specs your RAM is at the minimum specs and most of the people experiencing issues here seem to have 8GB of RAM.
Have you tried disabling Origin in game in both the Origin application settings and under the BF1 game settings in Origin yet? Are you using the in game video settings or allowing GeForce Experience to set the graphics settings for BF1?
I've heard that disabling Shadow Play helps some people with Stuttering. Also if you have MSI afterburner or team viewer try turning that off as they are known to create issues with BF games as wel.
Hey @ragnarok013 to answer some of your questions. I do use nvidia geforce experience to determine my graphic settings wich are all set to ultra. I get 65-70 frames in the single player and most times in the multiplayer, the stutter is mostly present in windowed fullscreen on multiplayer. I am gonna try disabling origin overlay to see if it helps but If you want to I can send you a video of what happens when I enter fullscreen (don't have time to record it right now)

@GoodlifewayI usually advise against letting GeForce experience determine you graphics settings since it cranks everything up to the highest settings for you GPU without regard for the other parts of your system which ultimately hurts performance. I don't even install GeForce experience anymore on my GTX1060, I do custom install and install only the GPU drivers and if there's an update the PhysX drivers and then manually set my BF1 graphics settings via the in game menu and BF1 runs like a dream for me with no issues.
BF1 is a processor and memory intensive game and in your system your processor is below specs and memory is at the minimum so if I was you I'd manually drop your graphics settings in game to medium and see if the problem persists. if it doesn't, increase them to high and see if the problem persists and keep doing that until the problem comes back. If the problem doesn't go away then the root of the issue may lie somewhere else.
I didn't see it the first time but I see your 1060 is overclocked. Historically BF games have issues with overclocking, can you set your GPU back to default instead of being OC'd to see if the issue goes away?
Hey @ragnarok013
I am going to try to stop overclocking the graphics card to see if it helps.
I would like to send you a video through here but for some reason its not working. I recorded my monitor with my phone and with shadowplay (in different occasions).
I want to say again that performance isnt the issue here its going fullscreen. When I record with shadowplay it shows footage of me going fullscreen but while that happens my monitor turns off
