So i recently build my new pc and after the build i started playing games. But while playing games the screen would go black for around 3 seconds and then would come back again. I have 3 monitors but only the middle one would go black.

I tried reinstalling windows, using diffrent cables, reinstalling drivers of my graphics card, but nothing worked. So i recently send my rtx 2080 back to get a new one and i still haven't recieved it.

They have send me a message that nothing was wrong when they tested it but they still send it to msi to get me a new one. So till i got my graphics card back i plugged in my old graphics gard (Gtx 980) Im now using it for around 10 days and the problem hasn't occured once. So i was sure that it was a defect rtx 2080. But for a diffrent reason i switched my 980 for my father's RX 580.

So i went and played games again and the screen went black again just like my msi RTX 2080. So now im really confused because the problem didn't happen to my Gtx 980 but it did happen with the RTX 2080 and RX 580. (My father uses the RX 580 to play games to and it never happend to him)

Please help me i don't know what to do, and im scared that when i get my new rtx 2080 from msi the problem will still occur. Please someone anything?

no but that should not be a issue right. Why would my 980 not have the problem but my 2080 would, but i can try it
You can dial down the refresh rate in Nvidia control panel.

What's happening appears to be a driver issue with the monitor: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/498557/xg270hu-screen-blacking-out-randomly
It's a different model, but the problem is similar.
Something you can try: Go into device manager, double-click on monitors, right click on the 240hz monitor, and click on update driver.
