I've been experiencing an odd issue with my monitor where it turns off and on by itself erratically, sometimes continuously for minutes or even over an hour. I first noticed it this morning during a treadmill workout near my desk. It seems to happen more often when I'm moving around or when my feet touch the desk's frame. I've tried switching to a different cable and even relocating the monitor, but the problem persists. Also, this issue isn't isolated; it has occurred with various graphics cards, including a 1080 and a 3050, and even after replacing components like the motherboard and RAM. I ensure everything is running the latest firmware, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can diagnose it further?

I feel you! I notice my monitor flickers whenever appliances like the refrigerator are running. I live in a tight space too, and I’m the only one having these issues with my setup while my partner's monitors are fine. It really could be environmental interference causing this.
It sounds like your monitor might be experiencing signal loss or interference. The culprit could be a failing GPU, low-quality cables, or possibly the monitor itself acting up. Make sure that there aren't any cables running alongside the video cable, as that could cause interference. Also, check if your electrical outlet is grounded properly to avoid ground-fault issues.
You might also want to avoid using cheap HDMI cables if applicable, though it seems like you’re using DisplayPort cables? They should be fine, but if they're not high quality, that could be an issue too.
