Hi everyone!
First off, i'll post my specs:
Monitor - BenQ XL2411Z
PSU - Corsair 600W
GPU - MSI GTX 970
CPU - Intel Core i5-3570k CPU @ 3.40 GHz
6GB RM
SanDisk 128GB SSD
Hitachi 1TB HDD
Preface: I posted this over in displays but after connecting my other monitor and got the same result, so it's not a problem with my display as far as I can tell.
My problem is as the title says, after a while of playing any game my monitors display will turn black and lose signal. It won't regain the signal until I reboot the PC manually by holding down the power button.
I can browse the internet without any problem but as soon as I start playing any game for 5 minutes (even CS:GO and WoW) the signal cuts out.
I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning but I installed a new motherboard and CPU about a month ago, I had some problems with the installation (you can see the posts on my profile) but in the end it all worked out and has ran smoothly and without any complications until today.
Solutions I have tried:
Checked for driver updates.
Connected a different monitor.
Switched to VGA from DVI.
Switched monitor off and on after losing signal.
Scanned my computer for malware.
Checked temps (GPU runs at around 60 degrees centigrade and Cores float around 40-50)
Forced voltage with MSI afterburner
Of course if you need any more information i'm happy to provide!
Thanks in advance.
