Last August, I bought myself a new PC, but kept my previous computer's monitor since it was still functioning and didn't have any problems whatsoever. Then a couple months later, while I was online, the monitor suddenly went black. However, the power light was still on. Moreover, all the programs, sounds, etc. ran normally. I've discovered that if I shut my monitor off, then turn it back on again, the display returns as if nothing has happened. Then the monitor goes black again, sometimes after as little as two minutes or as long as hour. It's completely random.
I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what's causing this. It's definitely not the monitor cable cause that's the first thing I checked. Also, it seems to get worse whenever I've had the computer in sleep mode for long periods of time. I've heard that others have been having this problem recently, so I'm wondering if this is a Windows 10 update issue or not. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on what could be causing this and how to fix it, because it's getting really, really annoying. Thanks.
EDIT: One more thing, it happens more often when I first boot up my computer and don't allow the screen saver to come on. Once the screen saver turns on after five minutes and I exit it, the monitor stays up for considerably longer.
