Monitor detected but not displaying on Nvidia graphics card

Hello everyone,

I’ve been running into an issue on my Arch Linux setup where my second monitor, initially detected and functioning correctly after installation, blacks out after some time and becomes unusable. The monitor itself is working fine, as I have tested it on a Windows machine, so I believe the issue is specific to my setup. Some information i think may be relevant to help fix this issue is posted below and if there is anything else i've missed let me know, thank you in advance:
