I've experienced my monitor going completely black and showing 'no signal' twice in the past three days, and it's a bit concerning. My PC was just idling with Discord and Steam running in the background, not doing anything intensive. Even though the monitor turns off, the AIO (All-In-One) screen shows the logo, similar to when I first power on my PC. Interestingly, I'm still able to hear friends on Discord, and they can hear me too, which suggests the PC is still functioning. I'm wondering what's causing this issue since my PC is only a year old. Any advice?

The situation you're describing is pretty unusual. A monitor going black while your PC continues to run typically indicates a potential problem with your graphics card. Luckily, most graphics cards come with a 2-3 year warranty, so keep that in mind if it turns out to be a hardware issue. It's worth checking to see if the connections are secure as well.
Yeah, definitely wait and keep track of how often it happens. Since it’s happened twice in quick succession, it might be wise to monitor the situation closely.
The GPU was installed just 15 days ago, so should I just wait and see if the problem gets worse? That seems a bit weird.
