Graphics Bug - Random Black Screens

[Propensity]

Okay so I have been dealing with this issue for the better part of 8 months and it has really stopped me from wanting to use my computer a lot of days cause I just can't figure out the issue.

 

When playing games in full screen i get a black screen that persists on my main monitor for 3-5 seconds while the game continues. Depending on the game different things happen. When playing dota the game would freeze completely but sound would still continue as normal ie. I could hear the game continue but the screen is frozen on my end. I would close the game and try to reconnect but as soon as I load in the screen would freeze while audio continued. In LoL the game goes black for 3-5 seconds but the cursor is still visible. Borderlands locks up for up to 10 seconds. I can't reproduce it with any regularity and have tried everything short of reinstalling windows but can't see how that would be the fix. Below is a quick clip of it happening in LoL today sorry for the music and bad angle was filming for over 45 minutes trying to catch it.

This all started when I upgraded to a 1080ti this winter as I found a good deal on ebay. I tried fixing it for about 6 months, flashing new bios, uninstalling drivers, using different I/O and cables, but nothing fixed it. Last month I bought a 2080ti in preparation for Borderlands 3 and have found that I have the same problem with the new card.

 

Current Specs:

Asus X99-A usb3.1 mobo

Intel i7 5820k

32gb corsair ddr4

EVGA 2080ti

samsung 960 evo 1TB m.2ssd

500gb intel ssd for extra storage

 

3 monitor setup

Primary - Asus ROG Swift PG278Q gsync 1440p - using display port

Secondary - Dell Ultra Sharp IPS 1440p - using display port

Tertiary - BenQ old thing 1080p - using hdmi

 

I'm just very lost at where to start on fixing this but I need to fix this for real

 

Thanks for any help

The same issue on multiple GPUs suggests the issue in on the monitor's end. Does it only happen on the main monitor or does it happen on the others too? Maybe try unhooking 1 or 2 monitors and try with only one for a while and see if that stops the issue. It would be weird, but not unheard of.

Don't think it is a monitor issue as when it happens in league I still have the cursor available and can move it around. Dug into event viewer for the system logs and getting a video card error so trying that rabbit hole but nothing so far. Got two sets of errors so far
