Hello all!

As stated in the title, pc keeps losing signal to the monitor. My specs are below

AMD Ryzen 5 1400
MSI B350m micro ATX motherboard
Gtx Asus strix 960
Kingston fury ddr4 ram 2400mhz
Windows 10

The slightest movement in the cable or even the pc causes this issue but also happens when I'm watching videos and playing games. When it happens, screen goes black with a no signal sign and for some reason I think the fan on the graphics card becomes louder.

At this point, the screen is blank but pc is running but louder. I don't get a signal back until I force shutdown my pc and turn it back on again.

I've used different cables and used different monitors that are available to me but I still get the same result.

Any ideas people ?

 
Solution
right now it sounds like a loose connection as movement is involved even when gaming. try reseating the vidocard, the system ram & the power plugs from the psu to motherboard & videocard.
What are temps during this time? Do you have any sort of overclocks on your card? When you plug in the cable, are you actually able to wiggle the cable around in the port?

Could also be potentially a driver issue, so those should get updated.
