I wasn't sure what category to put this in, so I found the one that seemed the most relevant.
*DISCLAIMER* I may go into very explicit detail when explaining... This is due to my frustration when finding a forum or thread that seems to be the same issue as mine, but I am not completely sure. I may switch between the words Monitor, Display, and Screen; they all mean the same thing, just different thought processes for each sentence. I would also like to mention that what I explain doesn't happen every time, just sometimes... weird.
When I am in Google Chrome (possibly other browsers as well, haven't tried) using Netflix, any time that Netflix asks me if I want to continue to the next episode of a series, or if I am just closing the tab, my monitor seems to lose connection to my PC and then reconnect. This happens when doing anything that involves switching from the webpage that the video is playing on. It is as if I was switching from VGA -for example, to HDMI. The screen goes black for a few seconds, then comes back with HDMI (I am currently using HDMI input for display) in the top left. Then everything goes back to normal as if nothing had ever happened. Today; something new happened, I left Netflix in a background tab while I was browsing other various things. My monitor suddenly did the same "crash" that I explained before. You know how Netflix will stop whatever was paused? It has a big play button in the middle of the screen with the back arrow in the top left. My guess is that it switched from being paused, to that screen, causing the "crash". I read somewhere that it had something to do with Microsoft Silverlight... I am not very educated on that subject, but I assume that it is similar to Adobe Flash, allowing you to play videos and such. This is all leading up to the question... What is causing Netflix to temporarily bring my monitor to a black screen of doom, only to simply recover and allow me to continue my daily browsing?
