I just built a custom PC for my son, and I'm running into a frustrating problem. The display occasionally shuts off completely, and the only way to get it back is by power cycling the whole system. This can happen anytime, whether he's gaming, browsing, or even just sitting idle. I've gone through a bunch of troubleshooting steps: I've swapped out monitors, used different cables, and tried various ports, but nothing seems to solve the issue. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this or how I might fix it? Here's a quick rundown of the specs if that helps: Windows 11, Intel Core i5 12600KF, 32GB RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. I've also included some pics of the setup.

Have you noticed if it shuts off during specific activities? Like while gaming or browsing the web? You might want to keep an eye on it. Also, could you share the components you're using? It’ll help pinpoint the problem.
GPU sag might be a factor. If your graphics card isn't well supported, it could cause issues. You could try propping it up with something like Lego blocks to keep it secure.
