Recently the display on my computer has been going black on all three of my monitors and then quickly coming back on without a loss of power. This made me think it was the graphics card, but i had recently replaced the graphics card to an Nvidia 780 and the issue started about a month or two afterwards. I read online that temperature could be an issue, but my graphics card almost never goes above 35 C. I was wondering if there is a solution and what exactly the issue is, thanks for the assistance.

I am using windows 8.1 and i am not getting any notification of any drivers crashing or the graphics card crashing, which i had seen before with my old graphics card. I am not using any adapters for my monitors or overclocking it, so that shouldn't be the issue. Currently i am using GeForce 332.21 drivers and i have not opted for a clean install yet when i replaced the graphics card, although, I think after the graphics card was replaced I had to re install windows which should have deleted any old drivers, although, I can try re installing the drivers and choose to do a clean install.
The third monitor that i mentioned was actually a larger television connected through an hdmi cable from my graphics card and i had always noticed that it flickered on occasion and lost its connection. I never completely understood why, but after unplugging the hdmi cord from the television, i have noticed all of the flickering has stopped on all of my monitors. I am not sure if this fixed it, but i have not noticed the issue since and thank you for the suggestion.

I had the same problem using AMD Radeon HD5450 Video Card. This card uses NVIDIA Graphics Drivers and AMD catalist software. I removed the catalist software and the problem disappeared, however this left me with a 1 inch black border all around the screen. So I put the catalist software back and removed the Dell Display manager software as the catyalist software has a feature (scaling) which allows you to fit the window to full screen. This solved the entire problem. The reason for this is a conflict between Dell Display Manager and AMD catalist software. Remove one or the other to solve your problem.
