Hi all, I built my new PC back in February. Every know and then my monitor will randomly go black but the LED power button is still lit and the there's sound coming from my speakers and the keyboard and mouse work just fine. This mainly happens during games but it's definitely not an every day occurrence (rare actually) but it's still alarming. I was using the included DisplayPort cable included with my monitor (Asus V279Q 27") for about a couple of months but started noticing random strange artifacts so I instantly stopped using said cable and have used HDMI 2.0 sense as I discovered the DisplayPort cable isn't certified. The artifacts stopped instantly. I do however get these strange black screens every now and then as I said. My graphics drivers, BIOS and chipset drivers are all up to date. There's never any strange noise coming from my PC when this happens. Does this sound like the monitor is starting to go out or something worse like the GPU or PSU? The PC and monitor are always turned off and unplugged when not in use. The specs are as follow: 3700x EVGA RTX 2080 Super XC Ultra 32GB 3200mhz MSI x570 MPG Gaming Edge Wifi EVGA Supernova 1000W 80+ Gold PSU (complete overkill I know but it's all that was available at the time)
