SIGNAL IS LOST BECAUSE OF THE CABLE OR CONNECTOR MALFUNCTION
If it is not possible to detect the damage or bad connection of the cable, it is recommended to try using a different connection port on the system unit case, most often there are several ports like that. Also, try to get a cable that for sure has no problems and connect your monitor to the system unit through this cable.
MONITOR TURNS OFF BECAUSE OF THE GRAPHIC CARD MALFUNCTION
Most often a graphic card malfunction that leads to temporary signal outages at the output is associated with overheating. The base graphic card cooler is not always enough to cool the graphic card chip, especially if the video accelerator was overclocked. Check the temperature of the video card using special applications and make sure that it does not go beyond the acceptable limits.
It should be noted: If the monitor switches off during the system unit operation because of the graphic card overheating, this problem may manifest itself, for example, only when running resource-intensive games or programs.
MONITOR IS TURNING OFF BECAUSE OF FAULTY MEMORY MODULES
Another common problem that may cause a temporary monitor turn off is the RAM failure or some errors in RAM operation. To verify that this problem does not exist (or – in the opposite -is present), it is recommended to check RAM with Windows or third-party applications. Even if just one of several RAM modules is faulty, it may cause a spontaneous monitor turn off during the system unit operation.
RAM modules cannot be repaired, and if testing results are showing malfunctions in RAM module operation you will have only one option – to replace it.
MONITOR MALFUNCTION
Also, your monitor may turn off automatically if it is operating in a highly humid environment. In this situation, you need to transfer your monitor to a room with normal humidity and allow it to stay turned off for a while without connecting it to the network. During this time, the settled moisture should evaporate, and when working in a normal environment, your monitor will no longer turn itself off if there is no corrosion.
SHORT CIRCUIT S IN THE MOTHERBOARD
In case none of the reasons described above is leading your monitor to its turn offs most likely you are facing a motherboard malfunction. This is the most serious problem, because to solve it you will need to replace your motherboard completely.
