Alright. Can't argue that and I'll keep your words in mind... also I wasn't
looking to insult anyone per say. Please understand this sort of thing is
something I've never dealt with in nearly 5 years since I use Linux, and I
don't understand either how it happens nor why nothing is being done: Not only
is it the most severe type of issue, and that it's been there for months, but
it's literally coming and going on a weekly schedule. I'd care less if it was a
minor issue, but I literally can't preform daily activities properly because my
monitor simply shuts itself down randomly for no reason! I don't have Windows
and wouldn't want to use it again, nor can I downgrade to a version as old as
before the time I can assume the issue started... what am I to do?

I'll try to be more calm, but I believe this sort of thing needs to have some
solution. There are millions of people using these drivers, I don't think it's
a normal situation that they can't use their machine safely and no one even
knows what's triggering it... if this happened in Windows it would probably
make headlines.

Anyway I don't want to take this off-topic. I'll wait for more answers and post
new updates as I see changes. Sorry again for earlier.
