AW3423DW, randomly turns black

My AW3423DW randomly goes black for about 10 seconds and shows the "DP Input Message" when it comes back:

  • No obvious pattern, frequency roughly once an hour
  • M0B102 firmware
  • In windows 11 and in games
  • Latest drivers installed (GPU is RTX 3080)
  • G-Sync enabled in Windows and full screen mode
  • 144Hz and 165Hz, I'm currently trying other refresh rates to see if that helps
  • Occurs on two AW3423DW units that I tested but not on an older AW3420DW screen
  • Happens with 3 sets of DP cables and two AW3423DWs so unlikely to be a hardware issue
  • Issue has not yet happened when combining two AW3423DWs as a single "surround display"

Has anyone experienced this or has ideas for a solution?

    This started happening to me recently. I have an RTX3080, nVidia driver issue? I'd be playing a game or browsing, then screen goes black then starts up again after about 3-5 seconds with the DP signal coming up.

    I am using dual monitors, one inside my PC that monitors TEMPS etc, and my main 3423DW. Had the monitor since May but it only started happening recently. Windows 11.

    Yes, we do look at the posts. I have still been sharing these with the display team. I have been mainly on this thread but have also have been working with @Vanadiel to discuss this. On your Surface, can you let me know what video output is in use and the model of GPU on it?

    This only appears to happen when I have two monitors connected and enabled.

    Simplify the setup, test one monitor at time.

    Test #1 AW3423DW on all three of the RTX 3080 DP out ports. Post the results.
    #1 AW3423DW --> RTX 3080 DP out port #1 = Black out or does not black out?
    #1 AW3423DW --> RTX 3080 DP out port #2 =
    #1 AW3423DW --> RTX 3080 DP out port #3 =

    Test #2 AW3423DW on all three of the RTX 3080 DP out ports. Post the results.
    #2 AW3423DW --> RTX 3080 DP out port #1 =
    #2 AW3423DW --> RTX 3080 DP out port #2 =
    #2 AW3423DW --> RTX 3080 DP out port #3 =

    I've had the same issue recently (twice today). Screen goes black and then comes back on with the "HDMI 2 input" message. Seems to occur randomly...

    Thank you Chris, I tested this with only a single AW3423DW connected for about a week now and do not see this issue occurring. 

    The issue does occur with a AW3420DW + AW3423DW connected and also appears to occur when two AW3423DWs are connected unless they are combined in the Nvidia driver into a single virtual screen. 

    The intermittent nature of the issue makes it time consuming to test each screen on each port for many hours but so far I don't see any differences on different ports.

    Do you have any additional screens connected to your GPU?

    What is logged in event manager when that happens?
