My monitor goes black after playing games after a month but my pc is still on
I've had my pc for about a month, and once I had this thing for a month my monitor started to just go to sleep whenever I play a game. It's not even a demanding game. This all happened after I downloaded warzone and tried playing it. When I tried my monitor went black so I uninstalled the game and played a different game while I reinstalled it thinking that would fix it but then a game that worked perfectly fine before made my monitor turn off. This never happened before and I have a feeling that maybe warzone did this. And the thing is my monitor goes black and my pc is still on and the monitor wont turn on unless I unplug my pc and plug it back in. My pc is
HP OMEN - 30L Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7-Series - 3700X - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD - Black
With a 500 PSU

Yeah please try the method at the bottom of that article. This will allow you to do a clean install of the drivers and see if that helps at all. There is a chance a driver was not installed properly. If that method does not work, and you have set up a restore point, before this happened I would try that next.
I haven't taken out my GPU (yet) but I saw this wire sticking out with no area to plug it into. Is it a replacement for the GPU? Like I said I can't seem to find an area to plug it into the GPU, so maybe will switching those cords work?
It's normal to have some extra wires in systems with non-modular power supplies. I would recommend checking to make sure that your GPU does have all of its power connectors properly plugged in.
You should see something like the above with proper PCIe power wires plugged into it.
You may switch out these wires if there are others on a different rail that will offer the correct connection for your GPU.
I'd still recommend reseating the GPU as well and then changing the slot that your GPU is in would also be a great test.
Okay so some questions and concerns
First Do I remove this top part of the GPU so I can fully take it out. Also is there a specific screw driver for this part? I noticed that these screws were pretty small.
Second the wire here seems to be plugged in very tight and I can't take it out, am I supposed to leave it alone or is it supposed to be very tight and taken out once all the screws are out?
Third, there's a screw above it as you can see and below this part where the wire connects to. The screws don't seem to move at all when I move the screwdriver into them. Again are they supposed to be tight and not removed. Or am I supposed to use a specific screwdriver for them.
I am sorry for bothering you guys so much, I am just really bad with computers.
Sorry, But my friend said the PSU could be a culprit of why this is happening. Do you have any idea on how to figure that out?
