Friends monitors turn off on him while he's gaming

[Doc Holiday]

Does anybody know what the cause is ? I'll post the specs up in a bit

[Bing Chilling]

few things i could think off right away

The outlet or powerbar it's plugged into is faulty

the cable for the monitors power is faulty

the HDMI/DP cable is faulty

the HDMI/DP socket for the monitor is faulty

the HDMI/DP socket for the GPU/Mobo is faulty

those are the ones i can think of atm

what i would try right away is a new cable for the monitor
if that doesn't work, try all the other ports on the monitor and gpu
if that still doesn't work, you could try a new GPU if you have another lying around
and if still nothing, it may be a short in the monitor

is it actually turning off?
does it give the brand logo when turning back on?
or its power led change state to show its asleep/off?

it may be a bad backlight led, causing the backlight to turn off while the monitor is still on trying to display something

using its osd menu, turn the backlight down to 50-75% to see if it happens less often

but also try another display, or that on one another pc/console to make sure to verify its the display or pc problem

im asking if the monitor display its oem logo when its turned back on?
it can be windows putting it to sleep, if its set to turn the display off when idle
using a controller does not always keep it awake
