Hey guys!
Posted here a few times with a similar problem but have finally narrowed it down to my monitor after various tests and replacing different parts in my computer:
My monitor shuts down momentarily when
1) playing (certain) video games
2) when looking at multiple images (i.e. google images search) or large images
or 3) when viewing multiple videos at once
The monitor will go completely dark (off), and then turn back on and show the BenQ splash screen before going back to normal. I am posting here hoping to get some info on why this might happen before replacing the monitor. Plugging in a different monitor solves the problem completely, as well as plugging my faulty monitor into the on-board graphics card instead of my 7950 (so it must also be some faulty interaction between the card and this specific monitor).
Thanks for any help!
