Problem description: In the last week or so, I noticed my monitor losing connection while gaming. The screen briefly turns black, then the picture returns after a few seconds with the input type (ie DisplayPort) as if I had unplugged the cable and plugged it back in. Currently I have a dual monitor setup, and only the primary monitor is losing connection. If I use my second monitor as the gaming monitor, it loses connection, and my main monitor stays on. Additionally, I tried it out with my Oculus Rift, and that loses connection when I play something on it.

I thought it was an overheating problem with the video card, but the max temp is 78C. From my research, the limit for my card is 84C. I can use the computer for hours doing anything other than gaming, and the problem never happens.

Attempted fixes: Swapped out HDMI/Displayport cables, cleaned out dust from the tower.

Recent changes: None.
