google photos screen saver causes monitor to blank out

I haven't figured out how to do a fade from one image to the next. If the flashing continues, revert to your monitors recommended refresh rate. Use the Refresh rate dropdown and incrementally select lower rates until the screen flashing stops.

You are free to replug the external devices once the screen gets fixed. It is wise to unplug all the USB equipment once you see the blank display and restart the computer. In the ScreenSaver preferences GUI under the 'Mode' drop-down menu I simply select 'Disable Screen Saver'. If the USB hardware is still attached to the computer after the update, it may prompt the PC to cause some graphics issues resulting in a black screen. The screen blanking problem was the easiest.

There were three changes I really wanted to make, and I've sorted two of them out so far.
