Hey all, I just bought a new monitor for gaming.



Whenever I play games, doesn't matter if its Minecraft or GTA V every now and then it goes black for a few seconds and then comes back.



New monitor is a AOC CQ32G1 (32" 144hz 1440P 1ms curved)



My old monitor which I now use as a secondary is a DELL D2719HGF (27" 1080p 144hz 2ms)



I also have a third monitor, some generic AOC 24" 1080p, nothing special.



The first 2 monitors are connected through DP and the 3rd generic monitor is connect via hdmi.



Specs are:



(all built-in late 2017)

i7 7700k

GTX 1080

1TB SSD

3TB HDD

500GB SSD

Corsair 850w PSU

Corsair 4x4 3000hz ram (16gb total)

Asus Z170-A MOBO



I've tried switching cables, removing the other monitors, using different ports on the GPU, using a HDMI instead of DP, reinstalled my NVidia Graphics drivers, installed all windows updates.



Nothing seems to be working, would like to fix it otherwise I will return the monitor.
