Unsure the cause but could be overheating, thoughts?

Dusted it and seems fine after being off a while.
Was playing Black Desert Online when it happened at first

Display Driver Uninstaller

:one: Download the driver for your GPU from the manufacturer's website using the links below, but don't install them yet.
:two: Download the latest version of DDU by clicking the button below, clicking on the top post which is called "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) VXX.X.X.X Released", and clicking ***Official Download Here*** in that post.
:three: Disconnect from the Internet by unplugging your ethernet cable or turning off WiFi in the bottom-right corner.
:four: Open the program you just downloaded, choose a location for DDU to be saved, then click Extract
:five: Open the Start Menu, click the power icon then hold Shift on your keyboard and click Restart. Once your PC has restarted, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart, and press 4 to load into safe mode.
:six: Find the folder you extracted DDU into and open Display Driver Uninstaller.
:seven: On the right side, select the type as GPU, and the brand as the manufacturer of your GPU. Then, click 'Clean and Restart'.
:eight: Once you have loaded back into Windows, install the GPU drivers you downloaded earlier. Once they have installed, connect back to the Internet.

Also try a new hdmi cable or a different monitor to rule out that it’s them.

To me, it almost looks like a sleep setting. Possibly a monitor thing?

^ Yeah. That definitley dosent look like an issue caused by anything bad. Not saying that its not it defo could be like @paper trellis said it does look like a setting on your monitor. If not try DDU and redownload graphics drivers.

I think it’s not drivers, it happens to both my pc and my work laptop. The back panel is very warm and both leads going in are very warm.
The monitor doesn’t wake up when I press buttons on it and immediately turns off when reset so not sure about sleep

#

I think it’s likely to protect from overheating

#

I mean it’s working now again after waiting 5 minutes it’s so strange
