Monitor goes into standby when gaming - GPU problem?

So since I installed a GTX 1080, my screen occasionally goes into standby when I launch a game. There seems to be no pattern to it. I built a new PC in January with a 730 for the graphics card as I was waiting for the the new cards to be released. I've only had this screen standby problem since I installed the 1080. I thought it might be bad drivers, so I uninstalled the August 15th drivers - but it still happens with July 14th drivers. Anyone have any idea about what's going on?
 
Sounds like the signal to the monitor is being cut. Do you get "display driver stopped responding and was restarted" messages?

What resolution and refresh rates do you have set?

I do not get that error message. I have to hard reboot the PC to get my screen back. My resolution is 2560 x 1440 and my refresh rate is 60 Hz.
