Everything has been fine for the past month but a few days ago this has started happening.My monitor keeps turning off and on when im playing poe.

It doesnt happen as soon as i log on, but usually after an hour of playing, it acts up. When im in town it doesnt do it. When im out of town it starts doing it one every few seconds to one every 10 minutes.

I think the monitor is overheating or something... or maybe theres some problem with the power supply. Others say it's probably my gfx card causing the issue too... im curious if anyone had this happen before?

It only happens when i play PoE. I did a FurMark stress test for 12 minutes (after i was having the issue in PoE) and it didnt turn off or black screen once during the test. So i think that means the gfx card is doing fine

I will say that the power light on the monitor actually turns off as if i were to power off the monitor and then turns back on a second later.
Then a monitor menu thing pops up titled as a monitor status message, this just shows that the HDMi/VGA cable is connected and theres signal (typical menu window when i power on the monitor).
This doesnt happen when i unplug the cable from the monitor so im pretty sure ive narrowed it down to being a monitor problem. But im not 100% sure

Sounds like you have a monitor problem.

For me this was because the backlight in my monitor was failing.

Ty ill look into that more


I just find it odd that it ONLY happens when I play PoE... and not other things, although running PoE is definitely the most intensive thing my pc does
