This is an awesome PC, and I had no issues for a month. Now I see every 3-4 days a black screen flicker. It resembles alt-tabbing out of a game, and seeing a black screen and waiting for it to switch. Except it never switches. It just flickers different shades of black. This also occurs when i am not playing a game. Just random black flicker pulses. Some longer than others, sometimes ill see my desktop for a brief second, and then it goes away again.

Sometimes, it will cycle itself back to life and everything is fine. Sometimes I have to reboot the pc by holding the power button.

Very sporadic.

I have another monitor I just plugged in, and currently will test that for a week or so. That is my first step. Any other suggestions? I'm not a total noob to computers but this is troubling me since it happens during anything.
 
Solution
Check if gpu is correctly connected to the PCI slot ... Also check your monitor cables ....

Alt + Tab ( windows 10 ) from a game do this ( black screen) if you have not other window open ( folder, Browser , other programm etc)
