    Monitor keeps turning black about every 60 secs and then comes back on. This just started yesterday. I have rebooted several times to no avail.

    I have 2 hdmi monitors with extended displays and the main screen is the 1 that keeps going black.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Greetings, lisa1977...

    Have you tried swapping the monitors, seeing if the symptoms change? Have you tried one monitor at a time? You may be able to narrow the possibilities (monitor vs. video)...

    Also, any specs you can provide as far as operating system, type of video card or motherboard graphics, etc., will help...
