Everything was running just fine for the past month. Now, for no particular reason that I can see, the display goes black.
Sometimes IF it's just the display it will come back, no matter what I am doing at the time.
BUT, if the display turns black, and the display on the cooler turns black or freezes, seems like the only way I can get anything back is to turn the entire system off using the power button on the power supply.

Today alone it has happened twice, but it could be not at all during a day, or like today a couple of times.

Doesn't seem to matter what I am doing, checking email, gaming, watching Youtube, whatever, I am just scratching my head trying to figure out what might be causing it.

I have all the updates for the gpu, there is one for Windows 24h2 but it's pretty recent and this started before that update was available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Which driver version are you on for your GPU? might want to go through this;

BIOS version for your motherboard?
Awesome thanks for that, I heard something about the strimmers I have, so I have gone back to original cables for the cpu, gpu and mb. IF it happens again, first thing I will try is rolling back the drivers to a previous version.
The BIOS I updated via the videos I was seeing about creating a USB drive with the ROM file that had the latest drivers when I did the build just over a month ago.
