Has anyone had this problem?

I've started my OBS Studio recordings as normal and then a few minutes later my monitor just loses signal to the PC and my Keyboard goes off for a few seconds then back on, the PC stays on though and doesn't crash.

The monitor though doesn't turn back on though but works fine if I switch on the XBox? I've been looking online and cant find any similar problem?

Thanks

Sounds like your computer might be hitting some kind of power limit. Not sure what you could do, but it doesn't sound like it's caused by OBS directly.

I'm also having this issue, hasnt always happened either. My monitors just lose signal even though my PC is still running. Has anyone found the issue with this?

I've had this recently. My stream would start and then about 1 or 2 minutes into it, the primary screen flashes on/off. Its happened, oh about 5-6 times the last few weeks. The system doesn't crash, and neither any of the applications I am running. Its similar to what happens when you run the Nvidia GeForce Experience to update (screen goes to black and flashes).

Hard to tell what is the cause. It could be Fortnite, GPU driver, GSync, OBS, or Windows. Never had this behavior before. My hunch is, its Windows and the recent 1903 update.
