Faulty laptop/GPU?

Hi guys

Just after some advice here really...

I'm using an MSI laptop with 960m GPU but when plugged into my monitor via DP or HDMI the screen will randomly stop displaying for about half a second and then come back.

It's REALLY annoying as you can imagine but I'm unsure if it's a hardware issue or perhaps a sketchy driver.

Everything else I've ever had plugged into the monitor has been fine so I very much doubt the monitor is to blame.

Any suggestions, fixes etc welcome!

Thanks

Windows 10, it happened with both the installed drivers and the latest and I've only noticed it on desktop. Screen goes completely black, nothing is displayed.

I've tried using 960m and Integrated independently but issue is still present...

Just taken a quick video, example of weirdness happens at around 00:20.

I've uninstalled the NVidia drivers, problem persists. I've installed everything again clean, problem persists. I've tried other cables (HDMI), problem persists.

Pretty damn annoying.
