Triple monitors keep shutting off?

Guest

Okay so I have 3 24" monitors and have recently been experiencing strange behaviour that I think is Windows related. 

 

Let's get started; a week ago I disabled fast boot and fast startup since I wanted my PC to fully shut down when I turned it off instead of going into a hibernation state and the benefits of fast boot and fast startup shave around 5 seconds of boot time off, not really worth it. 

 

After disabling fast boot and fast  startup I noticed that around 10 - 15 minutes after loading Windows the screens shut off for no reason. Usually resetting the PC once fixed the issue for the ready of the day and the PC would work normally, but after a cold boot the next day the issue would come back. Then the screen issue became more prominent, even a reset of the PC wouldn't fix it and it started happening constantly, the PC was almost unusable. 

 

I attempted to re - enable fast startup and fast boot but the issue remained.

 

Then, the next night I removed my Corsair Voyager GO USB from my PC to take to a friends house. The next morning, I went home and turned on my PC - only this time the screens did not turn on at all. I reset the PC once and it the screens turned on and the PC booted fine. But then I noticed something strange - the screens weren't turning off, they stayed on for hours and were fine (the USB was also plugged into the machine). 

 

Baffled by the situation, I disabled fast boot and fast startup again to see if that would bring the issue back and it did not, everything seemed to be OK. 

 

But, after around 1 - 2 hours the issue came back, the screens shut off again. 

 

Anyone know what may be happening here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

And yes, I have checked the power options and the option to put the monitors to sleep is OFF. There are no power saving option enabled.

No, the temps are fine, 35oc idle.

 

And this only started happening when I disabled fast boot again. Not sure what's going on.

UPDATE:

 

Monitors stopped shutting off for a while, went a whole day yesterday without them shutting off. Then today, after 5 - 8 hours of the PC being on, the screens randomly went black again, out of nowhere.

 

Before it was happening all of the time, 5 - 10 minutes after turning the computer on - now it takes hours for the screens to shut off, sometimes they don't do it at all.

 

What is going on here?
