Hello, I have been having this issue for a few months now. I am playing games, watching tv, surfing the internet, etc and both my monitors randomly go black for a couple seconds and say that they have no signal. This tends to happen at least once an hour sometimes more. The only thing that has been close to a fix is uninstalling my drivers and reinstalling them which only guarantees a few hours without the issue.

Hello
You have 2 antivirus programs running, you need to pick just one and your win 10 probably needs updating ..

Hopefully Bruce will look at this and chime in also.
The first things I have notice - (still looking)
To test are you ok in either uninstalling or deactivating Mcafee and turning on Windows defender.
Can you change your power plan from High performance to balanced
Windows is not auto updating and you are missing some updates..
Will look through the MTB logs

something that popped out at me, your personal desktop has OneDrive in the folder path, suggesting it is stored in the cloud.
if so, I wonder what else is and could that be causing delays as things are downloaded/sync'd with OneDrive?
long shot but hey.
I know once in the past back when I had add-on grapohics cards, at one point a Nvidia update just didn;t play nice with the current Windows version and I had to use an older grpahics driver for quite a while until Windows and Nvidia got their crap sorted and everybody could play nice together once more.
so maybe, go back one version of the graphics driver and try that, if no luck, go back another version, keep going say 5 versions, if still no improvement, I'll admit this suggestion may have been a wild goose chase.

So I uninstalled McAfee I'm now running Windows Defender, I set power plan to balanced, both steam and my games are updated, and I cleared everything out of OneDrive except for my school related files. Still no luck on fixing the issue, I am now downloading driver 461.40.
Yes at one point I thought the issue might be my monitors so I tried using only one at a time with both monitors but they still crashed. I also tried using both monitors with HDMI.
I know you have school stuff in one drive can you suspend the sync
- Select the white or blue OneDrive cloud icon in the notification/menu area.
- In the activity center, select More > Pause syncing...
- Choose how long you wish to pause for: 2, 8 or 24 hours and check that the white or blue OneDrive cloud icons in the notification area show Paused.

Not an appropriate PSU for the build that you have, taken from the link above;
CX Series™ Modular power supply units are an excellent choice for basic system builds and desktop PC computer upgrades,
Note the word basic, see Which power supply do you need?

Ok I'll go get a new power supply then been trying to upgrade to a 3070 anyways but it's ruff getting one at MSRP. Also hadn't had a crash in awhile since turning of OneDrive, have no clue how that could have caused this issue but I've gone longer without a crash then usual.
Good to hear.. If these issue's come back, just PM us and we will open your thread back up..
