Hello everyone!
I recently upgraded my PC and since then I keep getting this problem randomly. My monitors go black, and moments later I hear the hardware disconnected sound. I can't get my monitors to show my desktop display again until I restart my computer. I have tried disconnecting/reconnecting display port. I don't know what is causing this, but I have been lead to believe it could have something to do with the power supply. I have put my PC specifications below:
CPU: Intel - Core i7-6700K 4 GHz Quad-Core
Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Motherboard: Asus - Z170 PRO GAMING ATX LGA1151
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (Recently added 2 to have 32G)
Graphics Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Founders Edition
Storage 1: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage 2: Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage 3: WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm - WDS100T2B0A (Recently Added)
Monitor 1: Asus - ROG SWIFT PG278Q 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz
Monitor 2: I have another one, but I don't remember the exact name
