Hey, I'm really lost here.
My monitor works fine when I start my PC up but then after about 30 seconds it completely turn off. Not like it says "no signal", the power to it is literally cut. If I try to adjust the power cable or unplug and plug it back in nothing happens. If I unplug it and plug it again a few minutes later the problems happens all over again. The monitor works for 20-30 seconds and then shuts down on me again.
Anyone knows what I can do?
I already tried 3 different cables, same results

Thanks in advance!

Same cables and everything when you used the other monitors? if so, it's looking like your monitor is shot. If you're using , say, HDMI to connect the GPU to the monitor, try using DVI or DP to further isolate the issue

It's plugged into a power strip of 4 plugs
Things that connect to that strip: the PC, the monitor, speakers (which are switched off) and a TV which is also off
 


It might be worth trying to plug into a different socket.

In addition, do you happen to have an extra monitor lying around that you could try using?
