Monitor blacks out for 2-3 seconds randomly sometimes not at all

[Daniel Corrado]

My monitor randomly goes black for 2-3 seconds (doesn;t switch off) just goes black then comes back I am thinking its the Display Port I am running an Acer Predator XB1 27'' 1ms GSync monitor 2k, I want retain that, but not sure if its the cable. my GPU or something else can somebody help?

the CPU and Motherboard is new. I dont know what else to do. I bought a DVI-D cable but my monitor doesn't support one one HDMI and DP.

Any clues to what can be causing it? all drivers are up to date and I doubt the monitor is dying as its new.

Try to plug the Monitor into an isolated power outlet. If every device is plugged into one outlet via extension, that could cause the black screen...

Hi, It is most likely your cable, but other people that had this type of issue reported that driver clean install fixed the issue. Personally I think it is a cable issue.
You could probably fix the problem by getting a high speed HDMI cable. It must be high speed to handle the 1440p 144hz bandwidth. Did the DP cable come with the monitor? Can you try another DP on the card? You can try another DP cable or cheapest option for a test is to get a HDMI cable that is at least v2.1.

Can you give me a link to a cable that can handle 2k 144hz? please

I know I said v2.1 but 2.0 should work fine probably 1.4 would also work.

This is the cheapest HDMI 2.0 budget cable that should work. You never really know if it will work until you try but this cable has good reviews and has 18Gbps bandwith which should be sufficient for 144hz in 2k.

Which one of these cables would work https://www.mwave.com.au/searchresult?button=go&w=High+speed+HDMI+2.1

Price doesn't matter to much but obviously i dont want a HDMI cable that is 30-100 dollars.
