About a week ago, I was playing a game on my PC when the screen suddenly went black, the monitor said that apparently nothing was connected to it. The fix for that was to shut computer off and turn it back on, but then it became a frequent thing even outside of games. It'd stay on for a while, then the monitor would disconnect. I assumed that the monitor was the issue at first. But after testing out 3 different monitors, the issue still remained. I ended up updating the drivers for the GPU (didn't work), uninstalling all of my drivers, then installing them, and it still kept happening. I suspected the power supply of being the culprit but the lights on the GPU were still on, along with everything else when the screen turned off, and i could still hear sound coming from the game or videos. I disconnected the VGA cable I was using on m first monitor and connected it to my motherboard, after using the on board GPU my motherboard had, it worked fine, and the issue was gone. I've spent hours looking for solutions ranging from checking to see if the issue was something as simple as the settings for the PC having a sleep timer or the screen savers being the issue. But nothing has worked thus far. I would really appreciate the help, Thank you.
