Monitor are shutting down

[Noctosphere]

Hello hello,

So, earlier today, one of my monitor started to randomly shut down before coming back few seconds later. I didn't pay much attention, but it started doing it again much more frequently.
It is an old monitor, about 6 years old or so, so I thought maybe it was just on its last leg. I made sure that all connections were ok, and so it seemed.
But right now, my second monitor started doing the same thing. This one, however, is not even two years old. And anyway, that both of them would fail at the same time? It seems a bit too unprobable.

So here I am. What would you guys suggest me to check first?
My GPU? It's only a few months old (RTX 5060ti, MSI)
My PSU? It's 750w
Maybe something else?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks

Simplest way to test is to test the monitor with a different device that can output to the monitor, if they display mine something wrong with your setup.

I don't have other device that would output with these monitor

Take out the GPU card and try onboard display if they are supported by monitor.

Ok, so you think it's not a mere coincidence that they both fail on the same day?

Might have to do with your GPU to be honest, it is different compare to a dead monitor, screen that is going in and out has to with GPU outputting stuffs.

Well, I rebooted my PC yesterday, and the problem never happened again...
Drivers problem, I guess?

Possibly.

I could be wrong with modern tech, but driver issues don't present themselves until the OS boots. Should still see BIOS stuff

Funny story: I bought a new monitor due to an old one dying. Then thought the new one was flickering. But it was just my fan blowing my hair in my eyes.

????????????????

Anyway, the problem never came back after a simple reboot.

Monitor problems are pretty rare so I would always look to blame Windows or Drivers first.

I'm no expert with tech or computers but my new monitor sometimes shows a full screen of colors and cannot read anything or see anything on the screen. Could this be a driver problem or a problem with my GPU hardware?
