I've been having monitor issues for the last few months now.
My old monitor had started to randomly lose connectio with the PC, ant the only way to fix it was to turn the PC off and on again.
I figured it was an old monitor, so maybe it was time for an upgrade. So I switched to an AOC CQ27G2 gaming monitor. The issue persisted, and became worse.
At first it was every now and then, mostly during gaming. Then it became more frequent when I changed monitors. It would disconnect when doing something as simple as starting a game up - losing connection before the main menu had time to load in.
I the went through the usual maintenance checks. I used Memtest ony ram - both of them are issue-free - I updated the bios of my motherboard and drivers on my graphics card. Yet still the issue persisted.
My initial research suggested it was a faulty GPU, and planning to upgrade anyway, I got a new card - an NVIDIA RTX 3060 - and installed it two days ago.
This seemed to help, until I changed the refresh output from 60Hz to 120Hz. That was when the screen disconnected again.
Thinking I found the problem, I tried to upgrade the drivers of my monitor, onky for NVIDIA to prevent this by shwoing me a message that read "you already have the best drivers, you dont need to update this". Then linked me to a Windows update instead.
I updated the drivers again, and this time I changed the refresh through the GPU menu instead and put it to 144Hz.
This actually seemed to reslolve the issue, I could play games without the screen disconnecting, it actually stayed on during initial game boot ups.
It looked like I'd solved the issue. Until I played one final game as a test. Arkham Asylum, for context. It was fine for about ten minutes, then I walk through a door, and the screen disconnects.
I'm running out of ideas - and patience - for this problem and was hoping someone here would have any solutions.
