So let's see if anyone else has the same issue I'm running into:

I"ve got a Hanns-G 28 inch monitor with my ATI Radeon XFX 7970 video card. Lately, however, while playing FFXIV, sometimes the monitor goes black; yet I still have a signal between my computer and my monitor. Nothing I do to get out of the game or get some sort of response of the computer seems to fix the issue; I literally have to reboot to get the signal to come back again.

The only reason I'm not thinking it's a video game issue is that this happened just today on my desktop after closing FFXIV and not doing anything for about 30 seconds. It's confusing to no end and I'm wondering if it's the monitor just going dead or something else.

I'm currently running a furmark and at the 50% mark, I'm running at a stable 93 degrees celcius, at 99% GPU usage, and the fan running at 61%. So it's not even using it's maximum capacity which is starting to make me think it's not video related.

So two things are left: Monitor and Game.

So. Anyone know of similar issues people can relate this to?
