My monitor has had a couple of cases where it turns off unexpectedly when I am actively using it. There is no box that hovers around the screen showing that it has disconnected from the computer. When this occurs, I turn off my monitor, then turn it back on again. The monitor stays on for another 2-3 seconds than goes blank again. This last time this has occurred, I let my monitor stay off for about 2 minutes. I am now able to use the monitor with no problem. I've researched this and people say there is 1 of 3 possibilities.
1. Monitor going bad
2. Loose/bad connection between video card, cable connecting to video card from monitor, or cable connecting to monitor.
3. Video Card going bad or overheating, as well as a loose connection on motherboard.
I've made sure the connections are tight, and I've tortured tested my gpu and psu running BF3 on max settings. None of this replicates this problem. My question is this. Is my monitor going bad?
