You aren't nerd, but I guess you are smart enough to use Google.

Not all screenshots come out correct, if some come up black, it might just be an error or you might be flashed when PB takes it (or maybe even alt-tabbed? don't know about that though). I'd say if only some of your screenshots are black, there's nothing you can do, and I don't think you should worry about it either.

From what I know, that's just how PB takes screenshots. In order not to take a screenshot of your whole screen (performance issues might arise I'd guess), it takes a picture of a part of your screen by random (at least that's how I've understood it).

And tidididi, I don't see anyone here saying that black screenshots can't be fixed, what I said was that if only some of them are black, there might be a valid reason for it or it just might be a bug, remember this game is full of them (and I'd guess PB can't work around all the bugs either).

There has to be something that causes those kind of screens because some are pretty normal and show the whole screen. I am just wondering what are the affecting things. I don't remember seen such shots taken in 2.8.5 era.

I'm pretty sure they existed in the 2.8.x games too, but I'd guess some more experienced people in this area would be better suited in helping you.
