I was just watching a twitch stream on one monitor and googling shit on the other monitor and my monitors randomly went into sleep mode, i turn them off and on and it doesn't work. Fans start ramping up and I'm pretty sure it's not GPU fans because this happened multiple times in the last 3 days so I put my fans to 100% to see which fans are ramping up and it turns out it's either CPU or case fan. I can still hear audio while both of my monitors go black and I have to restart my PC. 
I read a few threads regarding this issue and people are saying it could be a PSU issue, either loose cable or just a bad PSU. The one I'm using is CX550M which I thought was pretty good even on the PSU Tier list. It's only 13 months old and my GPU is 1060 Gigabyte 6GB version and it's 10 months old. 

While writing this my PC shut down completely, no fans ramping up just clean shut down and I couldn't turn it on before putting PSU to 0 and back to 1. 
Please help it appears this will only happen more often (2 times in the last 20 minutes already).

The last thing you could do is just replace the button battery on the motherboard with a new one. Most motherboards will use the CR2032 3V battery.

updated drivers and all that, got one of those batteries on hand if it keeps happening I will try this one, for now it's one hour clean.
