im at my wits end. don't know what could be the problem

got 2 monitors hooked up - one with HDMI and the other through DP-HDMI.
the DP connection is the one that turns off randomly then comes back on. Also tried connecting it using DVI to HDMI and same thing.
also had the monitor replaced and turned off CCI in the monitor settings aswell.
Set up is
MSI mortar Mobo
Supanova G2 EVGA 550w
MSI 1050ti GPU
16gb Ram
Ryzen 5 3600
 
From another thread I posted in.

"NVIDIA "Maxwell" and "Pascal" graphics architectures introduced support for modern display connectivity to keep up with the breakneck pace at which display resolutions are scaling up. The two introduce support for DisplayPort 1.4 and 1.3, however the implementation is less than perfect. Some of the newer monitors that leverage DisplayPort 1.4 or 1.3 standards don't function as designed on "Maxwell" (GeForce GTX 900 series) and "Pascal" (GeForce 10-series) graphics cards, with users reporting a range of bugs from blank screens until the operating system loads, to frozen boot sequences.

Unfortunately, these issues cannot be fixed by driver updates, and require graphics card BIOS updates. Luckily, you won't be at the mercy of lethargic AIC partners looking to limit their warranty claims by going slow on BIOS updates, or NVFlash rocket-science. NVIDIA released a tool which can detect if your graphics card needs the update, and then updates the BIOS for you, from within Windows. The app first unloads your driver, and flashes your graphics card BIOS (a process which must not be interrupted, lest you end up with an expensive brick)."

Just to be clear, this does not update your vendors GPU Bios (it will remain MSI's and same Build #), it is a Firmware Update for the DisplayPort black screen issue.

My 1080Ti needed it (I never had the issue AFAIK) but Titan Xp already had it.

Thanks. Said it needed update so doing it now. Fingers crossed
 
The cables are just ones off Ebay. Cheap ones like the hdmi leads I use for everything else are also cheap ones and never had problems.
U think I should buy better quality cable and try that?
