Monitor going on and off when starting the game and switching worlds

I've noticed that my monitor goes on and off when I start the game (almost as if the game is changing the resolution), and change locations.  Is this normal behavior? 4790k Titan x sli latest dri...

every time I change it from 59 to 60 it keeps reverting back to 59.  Any reason why?

also, this only happens in Dragon Age, no other game.  Why do you think that is?  Thanks for your help by the way

    Have you put vertical sync on? So it matches your monitors refresh rate? This can ease flickering.

      I have vertical sync on.  To be clear there is no flickering during gaming.  The monitors just go on and off at the beginning of the game when I start it up (maybe 2 or 3 times), and press start at the main menu (it just goes on and off once).  Also, they turn on and off once when changing locations on the map.  Luckily during gameplay the monitors stay on.

      Dragon Age turning the monitor on and off isn't hurting anything in my computer is it?

      *By turning off, I mean the screen goes black, but the monitor led light is still on.

        It's shouldn't be having any effect on the lifespan or consistency of your drivers. I doubt that it is having a negative effect on the operation of your machine either.
