Recently, during BFA, my computer has been having trouble keeping the monitor on. I have tried everything to fix it as classic and other games work fine.

I think youâll find your power supply could be on the way out. I donât know if you have another power supply to test your system with or not.
Power supplies are often one of the first things to fail on your computer and you should make sure you have plenty of ventilation and somewhere the hot air can go when it blows out the back of your system.
As far as the other games working, it could be that Wow retail taxes your system the hardest.
Heya Kurumu,
As Jatzart suggested the cables are a good thing to check on. If you have any alternative video cables (hdmi, displayport, etc) I might suggest swapping them out as a test to verify the issue. I might also suggest setting the game to enable âVertical Syncâ which should limit the FPS to match your monitor.
Let us know if this helps!

I have the Exact same issue and your Technical support isnât getting back to me,
It is not overheating, it is nothing to do with cables I have reinstalled the game and addons separately I have changed the settings the Vertical Sync has always been on I have changed my computer setting reinstalled drivers and everything else this is WOW resetting my monitor I can literally play 2 games one on each monitor and one will run absolutely perfect the other one is WOW there simply does not seem to be a solution and you guys are obviously oblivious to the problem its whenever i go into the Auction house or the mail back or command table or anything that basically requires another window in game or the game has to load something my monitor goes blank and resets as if thereâs a resolution change or something it is only occuring in game on WOW no other game does it nothing else does it

okay so my wife had the same problem and the only way to get out of the black screen was hard power cycle the pc. Was checking everything and was only on wow this would happen. played other games on max graphics and nothing. Turns out that anti antialiasing âcorrect me if spelled wrongâ was needing to be set to cmaa. when I did this no problems. I have no idea why
Please keep in mind that we do try to reply to as many threads on the forums as possible, but a response is not guaranteed. If you need to speak with a representative directly you can submit a ticket.
Closing this up since the thread is very old and monitorâs turning off can be multiple different issues with no âone size fits allâ fix.
