I had this issue with my desktop and we managed to fix it. Now, on my brand new Predator Helios 3000 Gaming Laptop I’m seeing the same thing.
When you launch the skin viewer it displays as all black--just a giant black square. Moving the object will show the blue sky color. Move it back and it is the all-black square again.
This is a brand new machine. The only software I've installed is AH3. For some reason the Skin Viewer does not seem to like NVidea.
