My monitor sometimes goes completely black while I'm playing games. It happens randomly, and I'm not convinced the graphics card is the cause because Task Manager usually shows GPU usage around 50% or lower during gameplay. What should I check to find out whether this is a driver, hardware, power, or display issue?

Check Windows Event Viewer after the next black screen and look under Windows Logs > System for display-driver, hardware, or power-related errors. GPU usage alone doesn’t rule out a graphics-card or driver problem, since crashes can happen even when utilization is low. The SCEP certificate-enrollment error you found is usually unrelated to gaming black screens, so focus on errors logged at the exact time the display cuts out.
