Monitor Goes Black Temporarily

[FBC91]

In my other thread, I posted about my monitor screen going black for a second, then coming back on. I thought it had resolved itself by changing the RAM speed to 3200, but the problem has persisted. The screen goes black when gaming and general PC use. It only happens once or twice during a 6+ hour period.

Here are my specs:

-Corsair RM750
-AMD R7 5800X
-Silicon Power NVMe M2 gen3x4 2280 SSD
-ID Cooling SE 214 XT ARGB Cooler
-Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT
-B550 MAG Tomahawk
-G Skills DDR4 3600 8gb x2, changed to 3200, default setting is 2133. Pretty sure I had black screen problems at 2133, so I don’t think this has something to do with it, though I could be misremembering.
-Asus VG27A
-Windows 11 Home

Things I have tried:

1. Changing RAM speed.
2. Ctrl + Shift + Win + B; restarting graphics driver.
3. Undervolting GPU.
4. Updating, reverting, and then updating GPU drivers.
5. Ensuring monitor drivers are up to date.
6. Changing HDMI port on monitor.
7. Changing HDMI port on GPU.
8. Changing Power Plan to Balanced.
9. Changing GPU mode between Gaming and Standard in AMD Adrenalin Software.

I think that is everything I have tried. I might be forgetting some things.

Have you tried each monitor on its own? Does each monitor work when only one is plugged in?

Hi,

Have you updated your motherboards BIOS to the latest version? Are you overclocking any components? Have you tried a different monitor to make sure its not an issue with your Asus monitor? Do you have another video card that you can test the computer with to make sure its not a video card issue?

Unfortunately, I only own one monitor. I can say I’ve played my Xbox Series X on it without any problems.

1. I have, yes.
2. Increased RAM speed from 2133 to 3200 mHz, although I had the screen issue at 2133 mHz.
3. I have not, but I can play Xbox on it without any problems.
4. I don’t, unfortunately.

Do you have a different Graphics Card to try using?

I do not, unfortunately.

[Pyro]

Do you use the same cord when connecting the Xbox to the monitor as when you connect it to your computer?

I don’t; I will use that cable and report back to see if it is still creating the problem.

[FBC91]

Using a different cable didn’t solve the problem.

[Pyro]

Did you run Display Driver Uninstaller and complete reinstall your graphics drivers while disconnected from the internet?

Just tried it. It didn’t work.

[Pyro]

My best guess is something with GPU, is it still under warranty?
