Hello! I recently got a BenQ Zowie XL2746K, and the 240hz is very nice, but when starting games, the monitor goes black and I am forced to press the power button off and then on on the back of the monitor for it to work again. This happens when alt-tabbing into some games, but always when they start up, and it is very frustrating.
My main monitor (240HZ) goes black, but my other one (144HZ) does not.

this is it happening, I don't know how to make it not a short, so sorry about that.
I have tried updating monitor firmware, GPU drivers with DDU, and drivers for the monitor.
Also, when changing graphics settings on my NVIDIA control panel, the computer beeps once, as well as when pressing CTRL + Windows + Shift + B.
Any help is appreciated, I've never experienced this before!
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
Motherboard: x570-Pro Prime AMD AM4
Ram: 2x Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB DDR4-3600
SSD/HDD: 870 QVO Samsung
GPU: RTX3080ti
PSU: Corsair RM850W
OS: Windows 11
Update: I've tried changing cables and unplugging my second monitor, and nothing changed. It seemed to let me start games a few times without it happening, but eventually when starting F1 2020 the screen flashed, became incredibly dim, then went black, and made me turn it off and on again for it to work.
