screen goes black for several moments ...
This is a really worrisome problem:
Just upgraded from Win7 pro x64 to Win 10 Pro. At the same time I replaced the motherboard, ram, video card and added an SDD.
I had this done by a computer shop that I trust. The tech spent some time replacing and troubleshooting drivers.
I have had the computer back for about a week. Aside from the odd bit of fuss with legacy programs and me learning the ins and outs of Win 10, it has been pretty smooth.
Yesterday, while browsing the 'net, my screen suddenly went black and the monitor turned off (or at least the power on button lost its light for a fraction of a second). The screen stayed black for several moments...less than 30 seconds maybe less than 10 seconds. And the ASUS logo displayed.
Then the screen came back on...for a couple of moments and went black again. This repeated about three or four times.
No more problems the rest of the day even with a round of Skyrim for several hours.
Today I have been experiencing the same problems off and on with repetitions of as much as 8-10 times. Usually while browsing or checking email or...inconsequential stuff, really. This went on every so often most of the morning and then no problems again despite three hours of gaming until the early evening when the screen went black five times in a row over the space of about 1-2 minutes. No further problems so far.
Throughout all this, when the monitor comes back on the desktop is just as it was--no loss of data.
I could really use some help or advice with this I am very worried.

PS...have checked connections, everything seems tight.
