Hello,

I'll start off by saying my pc isn't new - it's like 2-3 years old. The issue came up 3 days ago or so, i hadn't used it for a week prior.

The issue :

At random times my monitor loses signal to my pc, but i can still talk for example in TeamSpeak or Discord for about 5-10 seconds. After that the whole PC freezes, but it still stays on. Second time the monitor didn't lose signal and the screen froze and pc still stayed on. Can't really think what exactly it could be, because i've figured it down to mobo or ram issue.
One thing i tried after screen went black and everything froze - mashed my keyboard buttons for around 30 sec and the PC restarted by itself. As well i ran Malwarebytes and it didn't catch anything.
