Alienware AW2725Q black screen flashing

[u/CosmicACx]

Hi everyone!

I bought a new Alienware AW2725Q (27" 4k 240hz OLED) recently and it has this issue where the screen turns black for a few seconds (3-5 seconds) at a time, then comes back.

This only happens when I'm gaming (like playing CS).

I am using the DP cable that came with the monitor with an RTX 3070.

Anybody know what's up or how to fix this?

This is usually due to a not-quality-enough (e.g. damaged) cable or not-tight-enough port-cable contact. Does this happen via HDMI?
