What could be the possible reasons for the computer to suddenly go black screen?

My computer randomly goes to a black screen with no warning, and I cannot figure out why this keeps happening. The screen goes completely dark while the system seems to still be running, with fans spinning and lights on, but nothing responds. I have to hard reset to get back in. I have already checked my monitor and cables, and they appear fine. Could this be a graphics driver issue, a failing power supply, an overheating GPU, or maybe a problem with the motherboard or RAM? I would appreciate any advice on where to start diagnosing this frustrating issue, as it occurs at random intervals even during light tasks like web browsing.

    To troubleshoot this frustrating problem, start by updating or reinstalling your graphics drivers, as corrupted or outdated drivers often cause display issues.
