usually a cable issue and causing signal loss. try a different cable first, preferably a higher quality one.

One i have should be high transfer speed display port

Been using this cable for a while now no issue

ohh okay.. i'd still recommend trying out a different cable just to rule that one part out.

also, when it happens again, i'd try restarting just the gpu drivers using the keyboard shortcut:

Winkey + Ctrl + Shift + B

another thing i'd maybe recommend to check is the power options:
hard disk -> turn off hard disk after -> setting (minutes) -> 0

wheres that second setting

wait, windows 10 or 11? in 11 it’s hidden, u have to search for “power options” and not “power and sleep” which the OS defaults to

found it, win 10
