So I've been using my new gaming rig for quite a while now, it never had any problem until now. The problem is, whenever I open a game there is a slight chance the monitor will just shut down. When it does, the screen goes black and tells me there is no DVI signal but the pc is still running and the sound is playing too.
Everything is new, the monitor and cables are new too. I've read somewhere that it can't be the monitor since the cables are connected properly and it can't just shut down for no reason, and it might be the GPU. I barely play any high performance games cause I'm waiting for the new ones coming in 2014, but I built my pc to handle them.
Specs are: Gygabite Radeon R9 280X
Monitor: BenQ RL2455HM LED 24" LED HDMI/DVI
PSU: Corsair VS550 550W
Update: I noticed when this happens the GPU is doing a lot of noise similar to when it's overclocking really hard. This happened while playing Hearthstone. (lol)
