Hello! Your issue involves two screens connected to your PC, causing intermittent signal loss on the secondary display. This happens sporadically, roughly once every hour or so, and affects both a gaming monitor as primary and a projector or 65" LED TV as secondary. The problem disappears when only one screen is connected. No changes were made after a clean Windows 10 installation, nor after updating to Windows 11. Your current drivers remain unchanged, and you've tested different GPUs, PSUs, and BIOS updates without success. Power-saving settings are off, and no screen savers are active. The G-Sync functionality works normally. Any suggestions or experiences from others would be appreciated.

Have you explored using various cables to link your GPU to the monitor?

Probably just a faulty connection.

It seems a fresh cable might be the best option now. I've checked four older cables before, and they function properly when only one monitor is connected, but issues arise once two screens are linked.
