I am running a newish PC ASRock B450M R2.0 with Ryzen 5 4500, 16GB DDR4, 256GB NVME, NVIDIA Quadro P620 2GB PCI-E X16, Windows 11 Pro 24H2 completely up to date BIOS, drivers. This is ~36 hour old clean installation, activated too.
Occasionally, while browsing the web using latest Firefox, only three or four tabs, or even at the desktop when NO browser is open (except Edge running in the background). the screen goes black for two full seconds, and then returns. There is no artificating that occurs around it. It is just like what happens when there has been a recoverable graphics driver reset or crash. Except in my Event Viewer logs, there is nothing that correlates to it. Reliablity Monitor shows no errors or crashes recorded. Windows Updates are all applied, nothing is being installed by Windows in the background (e.g. TrustedInstaller, MS component store, definition updates for Windows Security).
Since this installation, it has happened about eight or nine times, It happens with no rhyme or reason. I can't reproduce it. I am suspecting maybe there is a glitch with the Quadro P620 display port, disconnecting and resuming the signal. If this is the case, it is happening too quickly (e.g. 2 full seconds) for the monitor to respond to loss of signal with any OSD notification or enter standby.
Does NVIDIA driver maintain any kind of logs on the system that could log connects and disconnects, power management events? I did not see anything NVIDIA in Windows Event Viewer.
P.S. Hey remember when CRT monitors used to give you that electrostatic sizzling sound when the display signal was lost and went blank? Sometimes you could even feel it!
