So, a few months ago my monitor would go blank for a second or two like there was no signal but then would come back on. Every now and again it would say my graphics card recovered from a crash. So, I thought that was the problem so I sent in my gfx card and they sent me a brand new one. The problem still exists after a new card and have no idea how to fix this. Thanks for any help.

How old is your monitor?
Maybe swap it out for another one for a little while so you can see if it still has the problem.

Thanks for the comment! I have already tried swapping out my monitor with no success. I have no idea what it could be caused by. Could it be overheating? I have a program that shows the temp of my gpu and it seems to do the blinking thing when it gets to a certain temp like around 90ish C.

OH NO! I don't think that is a healthy temp!!!
Better look at your cooling, quickly!
