Question Anyone ever have this display problem? Monitors go black/restart every 5 seconds.

Not sure what's going on! PC was running fine last night. Today, the monitors restart on me every 5 seconds. They go black and turn right on again. Rinse and repeat.

It looks like the monitors are stuck at a refresh rate of 60 or else I would change. I reinstalled GPU/monitor drivers. That did not help. I do use an older video card - a GTX 650 boost. I was told to turn off G-sync. I haven't tried that yet. Any advice would be awesome. Thx in advance.
 
Usually a cable. Even a cable that has been working for months and years can suddenly start causing issues. Replace with a new one and try, it's a cheap fix regardless.
 
Have seen this on plenty of TV and cable/satellite boxes. Reseat cable, you can try powering off the monitor by itself and see if it resolves, (HDCP Handshake issue) or replace cable, try different port.
 
Here the behavior most likely indicates a GPU or connection issue. You should try disabling G-Sync and checking the cables and testing each monitor individually.
Since with the old GTX 650 modern monitors can have some issues with refresh resolution. So as I said try booting into safe mode to make sure it's not a driver or OS issue.
