when you look under the event log keep in mind the time of the crash and look around for critical event logs , also look for error logs and warning logs. if its a black screen chances are that you might not have a log related to that but you may get a log on something that happened before the crash and in the process of the crash.

From what i have look up a black screen can mean many things. It can be hardware or software issues (software issues also can come from the game) like drivers. But if a lot of players are having the same issue then is probably the game that is at fault. Especially if you don't get any issues with other games. You can always also run a stability test on your computer with Furmark if you feel like it. Take a look at your gpu temperatures while gaming (so play in windowed mode) to see if your problem is a heat issue.

Black screen can also mean not enough power but if you run a stability test you can rule that out. Troubleshooting is a pain cause you have to do many steps. But like i said if the problem is happening to more players that's no coincidence
