Question Why does my monitor keep restarting?

[Taarud]

My MSI monitor has been restarting quite frequently while in the middle of computer use. It will happen once every 30 seconds to a minute. I don’t believe it is the cable, as the power light on the monitor will go off and back on again. I have a 3070 RTX graphics card that is clean and has been reseated. Drivers have been updated as well. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!

What type of power source does the monitor use (external or built-in)?

Did you check the monitor's power cable and plug?

It is an external 12V 4A power cord. I suspected it was overheating and bought a whole new one, but this new one hasn’t changed anything. Connections are good.

If you are sure that it's the screen being faulty, you should have it checked by a local technician, sometimes a simple soldering session can fix the issue.
