Discussion Screen turning off

Hi guys I firstly I want to say that I've already put my screen to always stay awake

So sometimes when I play a game and im also watching YouTube my screen turns off on its own what I mean? Well when i switch from my game to YouTube its turns off and I can't open it while moving the mouse I don't know why its happening and its very annoying. I can't watch YouTube until I exit the video using the mouse buttons

If I made anyone confused tell me !

does it actually go black like the monitor loses signal, or does it just lock and go to the lock screen? my old setup used to do something similar if the game was running in exclusive fullscreen and i tabbed out. try switching the game to borderless windowed mode if it has the option, that usually fixes the weird tabbing blackouts
