I recently got a new monitor (ASUS ROG Strix 27” XG27AQM) and I've been experiencing the screen going black for 2-3 seconds. It mostly happens while playing games (mostly WoW atm) but it has happened once while not playing games. Sometimes it's really bad and it just keeps happening and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. I've tried everything I could think of from uninstalling/reinstalling the GPU driver to updating my bios. So I have to turn to the experts.
Things I've tried so far:
System Specs:
CPU: - Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: - ASUS Prime Z390-A
CPU Cooler: - Corsair H100i Pro
GPU: - EVGA SC2 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB Video Card
SSD: - WD BLACK 2TB SN850 NVMe
PSU: - EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G3
RAM: - 64GB (4x16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35V
Monitor Setup:
(Right) - ASUS 27" VG278Q connected with DisplayPort
(Middle) - ASUS ROG Strix 27” XG27AQM connected with DisplayPort
(Left) - ASUS 27" VG278Q connected with HDMI
Things I've tried so far:
- Updating GPU driver
- Uninstalling/Reinstalling the GPU driver
- Changed the DP cable 3 times (1 I had, 1 that came with the monitor, and 1 I ordered from amazon)
- Changed DP port between 1 and 2
- Updating mobo bios
- Updating mobo drivers (updating whatever drivers I could really)
