Solved Monitor Goes Black Temporarily

I wonder why it says my RAM is at 1600 mHz when it said 3200 mHz in the BIOS after I changed it from the default of 2133 mHz.

Because your ram is running in Dual Channel mode, Speccy reports each stick as half the speed.

'audible pop' - how audible, like a bubble popping?
and each time the screen goes blank, you hear that noise?

my money is the monitor is your issue and getting your hands on someone else's, just for one day, will prove/disprove that!

as to your memory speed, here's a nice explanation from a magazine I've kept that may help.

“Like the ticking of a clock, each tick represents a single hertz or cycle (the opening and closing of a transistor gate in this case).
A speed of 1Hz, for example, is one cycle per second; 2Hz is two per second; a MHz is 1,000,000 cycles per second; you get the picture.
The problem is when DDR (or double data rate) RAM came on the scene, it changed how data transfers were registered. Instead of only actuating once on the rise of each clock cycle, it could now also process an additional operation on the fall of that same clock cycle, effectively doubling the rate at which the DIMM could process data.
The figure for accurate measurement of data transfer requests then shifted from MHz to MT/s to adjust for this change, despite the fact that memory still operated at the same frequency.
However, marketing apparently didn’t get that memo, because many companies, in a bid to tout it as the next big thing, ignored the MT/s figure, instead referring it as MHz, while modern day memory quoted at 2,400MHz, for instance, only operates at half that frequency.”

I used my PC for roughly 8 hours today. No problems with the screen blacking out at 60 Hz.

I wonder if that is my problem. The monitor supports 1440p at 144 Hz according to the specs.

Have you upgraded the GPU firmware?
Not sure if this bit helps
TFT Central confirmed with Nvidia that future G-Sync monitors will support HDMI-VRR and Adaptive Sync over HDMI and DisplayPort. Naturally, a new firmware will be required to bring the two new features to the G-Sync displays, and one for both the G-Sync v1 and v2 hardware modules is already in the works. Basically, this means that AMD graphics card and console owners will be able to use a G-Sync monitor with their setup.

Is that safe to do? I was reading on AMD's website that it voids the warranty.

It comes from the gigabyte website
So I can't see how that can avoid warranty.
You can always ask them.
Have you been getting the drivers from gigabyte?

UPDATE: no issues over the past two days gaming and surfing the internet @ 120 Hz. I'm just going to leave it on this setting and not bother with 144.

Thank you everyone for your help. This thread is concluded.
