Since a short period I've issues when playing ESO that my monitor switches(after x seconds) for a second to black.
But this is a second and display is normal again. But this process keeps repeating itself.

First I thought it was my videocard, or monitor itself, but this issue only applies to ESO.
When playing for example Civilization, Skyrim, ... I don't have these issues.

    What video card and drivers are you using? Do you have anything like msi Afterburner to monitor your card temps and voltage? Have you checked the card to ensure it is seeded well in the motherboard? Checked cables to ensure they are not loose?

    Depending on what graphics you are running the game at ESO can be a hog on the video card and power supply. What is your power management mode in the NVIDIA panel? When I had my GTX680 I had to run power management at prefer max performance to keep the card running full tilt all the time on ESO so it wouldn't black screen. I set this on an ESO only profile so the card wasn't running full tilt all the time, even when I wasn't playing.

    Meanwhile I've resolved it myself a few hours ago. I always run games via a software AMD Gaming Evolved(Powered by Raptr).
    Is a software which comes together with the graphic card and measures the duration of your games, sharing community... But with only one click can set the proper graphics(low, medium, high detail)...

    Strange that this monitor issue pops-up after months of playing ESO.
