    Main monitor goes black only while gaming


    Hello so this has been going on for a little while now. My problem is my main monitor goes black for 2-3 seconds while playing a game and comes back. It is not showing the monitor turning off its like it losses signal for a second or two. I run a 3 monitor system. All cords are plugged into the back of my graphics card. Things i have tried. Reinstalling graphics card driver. And using a new hdmi cord. I am at a lost looking to see if anyone has another suggestions.

    Ps my other monitors do not go black ever just my main one that i play the game. the imgur shows the specs while fortnite is running

    Monitor goes Full Black unexpectedly while Gaming

    My PC Monitor goes full black while gaming or when I exit a game. It is very unexpected and happens anytime. The monitor goes black as if there is no signal coming from motherboard/ PC. Please help me fix this issue.

    Here is an event log when this issue happened - Black Screen While Gaming Event Logs.evtx

    Monitor goes black after playing games

    Lately, after I quit a game, it happens that the monitor goes black and goes basically in some kind of standby. It doesn't happen always (today it's just the second time that it happens), but I really don't understand what the problem could be. I cannot really tell even if it's just the monitor or the whole computer freezes, in fact, I've been forced to restart the pc using the button. Any help, please?

    Main monitor goes black only while gaming

    Primary monitor randomly goes black

    Got a monitor issue. Looked at other posts about this issue be could not find anything addressing my issue. Over the past few months, my primary monitor randomly (no pattern to the issue) goes black but the led shows it to still be working. Secondary monitor is working. Only way to get the primary back is to reboot the computer. I tried reversing the DVI-D cable but no luck, primary still goes black. Regardless of which monitor is set to primary, that is the monitor that goes black. The monitor set as secondary never goes black. Any ideas?
