OK, so I've been having this issue for months and it's been driving me crazy, if there was a way to pay to have this issue fixed without replacing the GPU or worse (the entire PC) then I would.

I've provided a video above to showcase the issue but basically what is happening is when I play certain games the Monitors will both turn off while the PC still runs in the background resulting in me having to power it down. Below I will list the things that I've already attempted to fix this and the games It's happening on as that's the weirdest part, it does it on particular games.

Games this issue is affecting.
  • H1Z1
  • Battlefield 4
  • Dying Light
  • World of Tanks
  • Mafia II

Attempts I've made to fix it.
  • Re-Installed Windows (Went from 10 to 7 to 7 to 10)
  • Upgraded PSU to an 850W
  • Disabled anything to do with a Screensaver
  • Made sure every driver is up to date
  • Tested Each Monitor Individually

If anyone is able to resolve this issue for me then I'd have no problem in sending you money to your PayPal as I'm at a loss of what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What sort of games have you played where it doesn't happen? I.e are they not very demanding games on the GPU? It could be you have a dodgy GPU.

I presume you have checked cables are secured properly on both power/signal cables and you have tried different cables too?

What are the rest of your specs? P.S your video doesn't work so I can't actually see whats happening.
 
That's the thing, I play demanding games and it works fine. Never had the issue with R6 Siege, The Division, Overwatch beta, Star Wars Battlefront and all these are on 2560x1440 resolution as well. Edit: My specs are in the video, is the link working now?

The link is working now. One thing I did notice from watching your video is that when the monitors turn off, some fans ramp up (most likely the GPU fan goes 100%?).

So I don't think it isn't a case of your monitors turning off that's the problem, but your PC is just crashing and the monitors are powering down.

Have you got any overclocks running on your system?
