    Problem with some games and the display screen

    So heres the story. I was just playing a game when i raged and kind of took it out on my keyboard. I have no idea what happened but now i have a problem where my screen dims when i play some games and it takes a longer time to tab into the game i am playing that has this issue. It doesn’t appear to fix itself once the game has been shut down too, It stays dimmed until i reset the PC and if i go into the game again it happens again. Also after a while the screen that i am on (lets say discord) can get overly saturated and nothing else (for example if i were on discord and it would increase the saturation out of nowhere if i would tab into a chrome tab it would remain on discord but not anywhere else). It also happens only after the game was closed. If you want to see it there is a video i took (you can see when i try to tab out it comes to normal brightness but it only shows on video. Also the long black screen flashes grey for a split second.) (and yes i picked that game cuz its the first thing that popped into my mind for this showcase.)
    I have no idea what happened and never seen something like this in my life. I am scared that i broke something and it is very annoying… Please help if its possible.

    Perhaps time to power down the machine and reseat all components.

        laptop or desktop?

        If desktop, smashing the keyboard at worst means getting a new keyboard, should be no other side-effect.
        If laptop, smashing the keyboard has a whole bunch of potential issues with the internal components.
