Description:
Every now and then, the screen goes unresponsive/black for some few seconds, even when I change the PRLauncher video settings and Nvidia Control Panel settings.

Previous PR versions didn't have those

No visual enhancer added, just vanilla PR running.

Happens in any game-mode, map & server.

--- check your GPU isnt overheating
--- your powersupply might not be able to supply full current when the card/system/cap's get hot from heavy use (have you overclocked it? this is number 1 cause)
--- also in nvidia profile for prbf2.exe make it's power profile "prefer maximum performance"

you can also enable Vsync (lock frames to 60fps of your monitor) to stop it over-rendering when it's not needed on the 10-year old engine

Thanks for the quick reply.

Seems it is fixed, when I updated the Nvidia driver... Nvidia driver version 358.87 was the one I had issues with

Did some stress tests/benchmarks on the system with temp monitor (HWinfo), the GPU runs at max 54~56 Celsius, have a 700W PSU with small amount of hardware.
And no, the GPU is not overclocked.

But I'm not sure if it's entirely the drivers fault, will do some more testing in-game and some more stress/benchmarking.
