Hi, I have recently begun to encounter this issue where after playing games for around an hour, both my monitors will suddenly turn black and lose signal, but the PC still seems to be running, but I must reset (hold down the power button) to get the monitors to working again. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I have already tried cleaning my PC, reinstalling the video drivers and messing with the power options. I have also heard it's possibly related to a malfunctioning PSU, but I'm still not sure yet and don't want to spend money changing it just for the problem not to be fixed.

 

Thankfully, this not currently at the level where its disturbing my work but its very frustrating to unable to spend time with my friends. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

More likely to be the Graphics Card.

 

Quick and cheap, possible cure: Blow the dust out of the Heat-exchanger - You may need to take it's cover off!
