This started today: When i'm playing VRchat my monitor loses signal, Keyboard and mouse stops working but pc is still on, Sort of like that my computer would turn off but i doesnt, I don't see anyone else with this problem
 
Not sure if this fits your situation, but this was happening to me over Christmas when I had my computer sitting on some thick carpet. My PSU was getting choked out with the lack of airflow and I would lose all USB power and my display, could still hear my games but needed to restart to get it back. Placed my PC on a wooden surface and never had the problem again.
 
The thing is that i didnt eve. change anything from my setup? The only thing i did was plug a rasperry pi to the same outlet so it shouldnt be that, And it is on wooden floor
 


What are your specs and power supply?
