Well, pretty much that says it all, i used to be able to play about every game with no issue, up until a week ago. The monitor just shuts off and i cant see anything, the pc is still running. I already updated drivers, reinstalled my os, and did stress tests, and diagnostics, all of which are saying everything is fine.

That suggests to me that your power supply is inadequate for your graphics card.

Your power supply may be adequate for everyday purposes, but when the graphics card begins drawing increasing amount of power, it doesn't have the needed watts. And then the graphics shuts down.

What are your system components?

It could also be that the game is trying to run at a resolution that your monitor does not support. Might want to check and see what resolutions it can support....
