I have an Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-58). The issue is that the screen randomly goes black for about 3 seconds, then turns back on. The laptop itself stays on (fans are running, I can hear Windows sounds).

This happens randomly, sometimes while gaming, sometimes just when browsing. It never crashes to blue screen. The external monitor stays on when this happens.

I have already tried:

• Updating NVIDIA drivers.
• Disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome.
• Using an external monitor.
• This is not a physical damage issue (never dropped).

Any idea what could be causing this? Is this a driver conflict or a hardware defect (e.g., screen ribbon cable)?

Thanks.
