Monitor goes black followed by a freeze - Please help

Hey everyone - Currently dealing with what the title says. My main monitor will go completely black and then when I try to move my cursor around on my second monitor it lags followed by a complete system freeze. I am forced to restart after this.

My main monitor is a LG 27GP850-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 27-Inch QHD (2560 x 1440) Nano IPS Display at 165hz. My second monitor is much older and is only 1080p at 60hz.

I have looked online and tried some fixes - I have disabled freesync and enhanced sync - I have turned off hardware acceleration in Chrome and Discord. This has gotten about 5x worse over the last 2 weeks and it probably has happened 2-3x a day.

I frequently tab out of games and do things on my second monitor - which makes me wonder if it could be from the differing quality and Hz between my 2 monitors?

Just a few minutes ago my main monitor went black so i tried to do Win +CTRL + Shift + B to try and reset GPU and it froze everything.. After resetting my computer it didnt even pick up my main monitor - Everything was switched over to my second monitor as the new primary... Does anyone have any ideas on whats happening here and what I can do to fix this? Very frustrating.. (main monitor is Display Port)
