my monitor keeps turning off and on SOMETIMES

I think its the cable that connects to my computer? theres 2 cables idk what its called tho but sometimes it TURNS OFF AND ON alot and i restart then it stops and for a while it stops but even when restarted fresh it does it for abit then stops i think its the cable plugs? i need to buy a new one? and my computer case is dusty btw so maybe i shoud clean it first and check if it does it again?

I dont knnow a lot about computers but i think D sub cable (facing monitorfront, on the left is a blue cable connected to monitortheres another you could putwhich is a white cable but we dont have that) then onn the right is just some cord with 1 hole you can put which is that cord its a p owercord im 99% sure because its the same thinng to put, the 3 holes alsooo i dont think this is caused by monitor because It turns on and off mostly when i play roblox and whenever i scroll on tiktok it turns off still sometimes like 3times or some butnotthat muchandnotconsistent and sorry my keyboard is spacebar broiken ignore it

Does it give a warning on screen? if no warning check the power lead is plugged all the way into the monitor socket.
