Tech Support

Starting a few hours ago my PC monitor has been turning off during gameplay. Games run fine during the period they do. But 10-15 minutes my game monitor will turn off and audio from the game will stutter for a bit. My pc does not turn off. The monitor does. all temps are NORMAL. nothing is overheating. I have recent drivers I am reinstalling them now. I played about 2-3 hours of BF4 last night. I tried to play again and now my PC is doing this. Everything runs fine and starts normal during regular PC use. This only happens during gaming. I've unplugged my cords replugged them. Cleaned dust etc etc... Any ideas? If anything this might be a PSU issue?

Does the screen just turn black or does the monitor literally power down?

Sounds like you're heading in the right direction by reinstalling drivers. Do a clean install of them if possible.

Make sure your video cable is fully plugged in to both your monitor and GPU.

If the driver install doesn't work, perhaps see if your GPU is fully inserted into the motherboard

I hope the driver reinstall fixes everything man

Your GPU, OS and driver version might be a decent thing to know.
