If Im playing a game, the game appears to keep going as well. Every now and then, at seemingly random times, my monitor goes black for a few seconds. I need some tech support Over the last few weeks my custom built desktop PC has developed an odd behavior.

I would really appreciate the help, Thank you. Monitor Randomly Goes Black But PC Keeps Running. 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. 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 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 ended up updating the drivers for the GPU (didn't work), uninstalling all of my drivers, then installing them, and it still kept happening. But after testing out 3 different monitors, the issue still remained. I assumed that the monitor was the issue at first.


It'd stay on for a while, then the monitor would disconnect. 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. 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.
