Hello, I'm facing a problem where my monitors frequently shut down and show no signal even though the PC remains active. I've tried various solutions such as updating drivers, completely uninstalling them, and even switching to a different graphics card, but the issue persists. I've been searching online and on forums without success. Recently, I replaced the graphics card and it still doesn't work. I'm really struggling with this setup and hope someone can assist me before taking the PC to a repair shop.

Additionally, the PC was built less than a year ago, and this problem has been occurring for about three to four weeks now. I would really appreciate any advice you might have. Thank you.

Check Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.
One or both programs might record certain error codes right before or when the monitors/display shut down.
The PSU's age is unclear; past heavy gaming usage is noted.

Hey, thank you for your message.
I took a closer look at the event viewer and noticed only a few errors—mainly about monitors not shutting down properly. These appear to be from when I restarted the computer after turning off the screens. Honestly, I’m still unsure what to focus on there.

Regarding the PSU, I bought everything new around 10 months ago. It seems like it’s been used for casual gaming—maybe a few hours after work and occasional longer sessions over the weekends.
