It is very likely that it is a cable issue. Perhaps your cable cannot handle the bandwidth 2560x1080 that the monitor's resolution needs especially if you run it over 60Hz. I think this monitor can do 75Hz and this could be why it goes blank.
I would use an HDMI 2.0 or at least 1.4 cable without an adapter directly to the PC. I also have one of these monitors at my office and I use an HDMI to DVI cable but it must be DVI-D (dual link), meaning the cable must have more pins than a DVI single link cable.

My adaptor cable HDMI to dvi is dual link and I dont get the black blinks or turn to black like others do.
