i know this sounds basic and i don't mean to be sarcastic but have you checked the connection cause some monitors are really sensitive especially ones with DVI. it happens when i adjust the height of my monitor and it looks connected but you really have to push it in.

Other than that maybe it could be a driver issue or a heat issue? Check to make sure the fan on your graphics card is still spinning when it happens. If its an nvidia graphics card you can check the temp through the monitor settings.
