Question My monitor keeps turning off and back on

[Alkimia7945]

My monitor has been turning off and on at the most random times and I have no clue what could be causing it. Maybe it's overheating, if so how do I fix this problem?

I would:

Check to see if it's ventilation holes are clogged with dust and proceed to clean them out. If you can take the back off and do the entire interior is best.

Check your power brick (if there is one) to see if it's putting out the proper amount of power, and how hot it's getting as well.

Age of the monitor? Have you tested it with another system? Power cord may be loose.

The monitor is brand new and I don't think it's a problem with the power cord. I can't really test it with another system, so I'll see what I can do

I thought it was the ventilation, so I decided to clean it but nope! There was barely any dust and it keeps happening As for the power, I don't think that's the problem either.

If it's any help, sometimes when my monitor goes black I can see static for a millisecond, not sure if that's of any help.

Perhaps a bit more detail might be in order. In addition to the above aspect about the static, give us some deets about the system it's connected to.

I (hope) would think you are discussing a different issue than Windows own power saving features....

When it cuts off will it turn right back on with a mouse movement, space bar, do you have to power cycle the monitor, the computer?
