I recently got a new 4k monitor (previously had two 1080 monitors, never had a problem). Everything is mostly fine until i start up a 3d game. Fullscreen or windowed doesn’t seem to matter. Ive tried different HDMI cables, searched around for solutions, cant find anything . when I’m playing any 3d game, my monitor will constantly go blank than come back on, like the monitor will loose the signal than it will come back. very annoying. it does this rarely outside a game, maybe only once in a few days, but it will go crazy when gaming. As a last resort, i would try another distro, but i really don’t want to go that far if i don’t have to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. if there’s any thing i need to do, please say and I’ll try my best.
Here is some of my PC info.
