For awhile now my monitor (AOC Q27G2G4) has suddenly been going black for about 3 seconds while I'm playing games, and happens consistently whenever I open up a games store page on the steam app. The frequency of the black-out varies from game to game, but it seems to be the worst in Tabletop simulator where it happens constantly, making the game pretty much unplayable. One of the fixes I found was starting the game in Fullscreen, then putting it to windowed. This stopped the issue until I relaunched the game.
The weirdest bit to this is how it happens consistently whenever I open up any store page with a video preview using the steam app. For instance, if I go to the fallout 4 page, the screen will go black the moment the trailer starts the play. If I scroll off the page, the moment the video goes out of view, my screen goes black again. Same thing if I scroll back up. I tried to recreate this issue on my second monitor and it never went black once. This doesn't happen with YouTube or Reddit, only steam pages that have a video, or when the main store page has some sort of animation like for the winter sale or whatever.
I've checked the ports on my GPU and they seem fine. Swapping the ports between my main and secondary monitor don't fix anything either. All my drivers are up to date including Geforce. The display port cable itself is fine since the issue still happened when I used a different cable.
Since the issue is isolated on my AOC monitor, could this be a hardware issue?
