Losing Video Signal

I've been having this issue for the past 2 months now where whenever I get into a game my computer seems to crash but not really, the monitors (I have two) both lose connection to the GPU but I still hear music from the game. This isn't as soon as I launch a game either, the game will load perfectly fine but as soon as it enters the main menu that is when it cuts the signal, I've tried this on multiple games as well and the issue persists.

Now, I've replaced my MSI R9 390X hoping that was the issue, it wasn't, I tried running on only one monitor (either one), it wasnt, I've tried replacing the cables (PSU and video cables), still no, I've tried a different PCI-e slot, still not working, I even reset my entire PC, deleting everything starting from square one, still broken. My best guess now is that it's the motherboard and I'm shit out of luck, but if anyone can think of something I'm honestly all ears.

PS: I have watched and even recorded my GPU, CPU, and motherboard temps/load to see if maybe there was a culprit but nothing out of the ordinary sadly
