Hi. If anyone could help me that would be great. For basically the past year, whenever I’m playing games my monitor goes black for 2-3 seconds, but then the image reappears again and i can play. I’ve read similar posts from others but it seems that most peoples game or computers crash whereas mine only goes black for a few seconds and i can still hear audio. It used to rarely happen so it didn’t really bother me, but now it seems to happen every 15 minutes or so and is really frustrating. When the image appears, the little DPI Port 1 pops up on my monitor, like it had lost signal but just regained it. At first i thought it was an overheating issue because my 2060 super can run hot (up to 83C sometimes if running at max performance), however i’ve tried stress tests where the temp goes above that and the issue doesn’t occur. The black screen almost seems random. Sometimes it will happen every 15 minutes, sometimes every few hours.  I’ve also tried doing a DDU clean install for my graphics card drivers but that didn’t do anything either. I’ve used two different monitors and it has occurred on both. It never loses signal to the monitor except while gaming (I only play halo mcc…not sure if it would occur on others….guess i should try) and when first booting up the pc when it asks for your password to login. It’ll lose signal briefly before andor after typing in my password before the desktop shows up. Not sure if that’s normal. I’m posting screenshots of my specs. I’ve spent way too much time trying to fix this with various other things (messing with afterburner settings, messing with nvidia settings, power settings, different cable/port, etc.) and I feel defeated. Thank you for any ideas or help.
