Hello.

I have recently built myself a custom pc, specs are:
CPU: i7 6700K
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2133 mHz
PSU: 550W
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 6gb DDR5
COOLING: Arctic freezer 240
Monitor: ACER V223HQV
Every once in a while, my monitor just goes black for a few seconds, I have no idea why, and ideas?
 
Solution
If the computer doesn't mess up other than that I would say it's an issue with the Monitor, the Cable, or the Graphics card. Try the computer on a different display, even just an ordinary TV with an HDMI cable, and assuming you are using something other than HDMI (which you should) that will tell you if its the cable or the monitor. If the problem persists its most likely the graphics card itself, at that point we can go from there.
