last night i purchased a preowned monitor MG279Q
that night i set it up and watched videos for hours and everything was fine
today i was doing some graphic work, nothing intensive, just some 2d work and some animation on program called ToomBoom Harmony
anyways, it suddenly went black,
when this happened I tried plugging out the display port and reinserting as well as switching over to a HDMI cable, turning the monitor on and off
(eventhough the screen went black due to lost signal, the monitor itself seemed fine, menu could be accessed without a problem)
I had to restart the comptuer and when I did it was working fine again
until it started happening more frequently
I was watching a video on youtube and it turned black again as someone was speaking
the audio was actually playing for 10 seconds or so before it too froze and I had to restart my comptuer once again
next few times, the monitor would lose signal as soon as i went past windows log in
I'm currently on my old 1080P monitor and there's no crash so far,
what's important to note is that I had installed the custom driver for MG279Q to change the freesync range from its defualt to
60 - 144hz
but the issue seems to be here still even after I had gone into device manager and uninstalled the monitor to delete the drivers
my PC specs are
i5 4690K
Z97-K
2X 8GB DDR3 ram (not sure about the frequency or brand)
r9 290
and an antec 620W PSU
as you can tell it's a very old system
but I cannot understand why it seems to be having this problem on this MG279Q monitor
i had even uninstalled the custom driver via device manager
any sort of help would be appreciated because I can't really use the new monitor when I'm constantly fearing when it's going to crash again
