Screen goes black for a sec when I wiggle the HDMI cable at the GPU port.

I first did it accidentally just by wiggling it really lightly just to check if its properly inside. And then it seems to go black and back to HDMI 1 source whenever I do it. But it doesn't always happen. That's the frustrating part. I can't always replicate it for some reason. Happened today and then I took it out and plugged it back in, and now it doesn't happen if I wiggle it. That seems so weird to me.

 

What could cause this? Anyone got ideas if it's the cable or the port?

If you wiggle a cable, it can cause the connection inside to be broken temporarily while you're wiggling it and make the screen go black then come back once you stop. 

 

Solution: stop wiggling the cable. It's not designed for you to do that.
