Sorry about not posting my specs first, I was unaware.

Cool GTX, after looking through the basic troubleshooting steps I've attempted on that list are 1, 2, and 3. But I noticed step #7 specifically talks about black outs while gaming. I don't know if this means total loss of video requiring restart when they say blackout, but I'll try disabling full screen optimization to see if that helps. Also, I'd like to point out that my CPU and GPU temps have never exceeded 60 degrees C, so I feel this most likely isn't temperature related either.
Sajin, I've only used the display ports on my new computer because of my 4k monitor, but on my previous machine that was experiencing similar issues I exclusively used the HDMI port.
