Montitor turning off while playing BG3
After 30-40 min of the game session, my monitor started to black out. The only solution is to unplug it and plug it again. However, the solution is temporary. The longer I am playing the more frequently my monitor starts turning off and then it reaches that point when I just cant turn my monitor It just instantly turns off during the game. The only way is to reboot the PC

I have already tried to lock frame rate to 60, 90 or 120. Lower graphic settings. Checked local files.

My specs:
Monitor ASUS 27” ROG Strix XG27AQMR 300Hz
Intel i9-13900K. Locked at 5.1GHz
RTX4090
64Gb RAM

I would appreciate any suggestions/thoughts to fix this issue.

First make sure you update your GPU driver. Then test with different monitor. Borrow one from a friend for a few hours. If it doesn't happen with the other monitor then you're not going to find the root of the problem in your computer specs.

I'd say there's an overwhelming chance that your monitor is simply malfunctioning, and as frustrating as that is there isn't anything you can do to fix that unless the warranty is still good.

Is your monitor literally turning off or is the screen going black? Cause I dont think just rebooting the PC will turn your monitor back on magically. lol.

Some weird Windows power saving setting would be first guess. Does the monitor turn back on once you close the game (that would be tough to do without the video, I know)? Does the monitor turn off while playing any other game or simply leaving PC on for 30 minutes doing nothing? If you switch to other video connector in the GPU, does the signal also disappear?

Not a game issue. The way you described it, it is limited to GPU/monitor. More likely GPU overheating.

Lock the FPS to 30 via Nvidia control panel globally and try again.

Thanks for the answer. I will try that. I had some thoughts about this. It could problem of the high refresh rate of the montior, or something about the inner features of the montior which is conficting with the game. But, this issue did happen only with BG3. Also, I want to try with HDMI

Yes, sounds ridiculous, but it is. Basically, I did unplug it from the rosette to "boot up" monitor. Even, turn on/off button does not work, until "unplug and plug"

Thank you for your answer. This problem happened only in the BG3 after playing 30-40 min,. I hadn't this issue with different games. I will try HDMI, instead of display port to understrand if this is a root of the problem.
Like, while iam gaming and it turn off monitor only once, I can alt+f4 from the game, then unplug montior from the rossette and plug it again. It will boot up monitor without any issues. But, the longer I am playing the less effective "unplug plug" solution is helpful. So, one it reached a peak point when I got only black sreen. I needed to reboot PC, unplug from from rossette and unplug display port from the GPU. And then monitor came back alive
