Monitor shutting down, freezing windows. Broken monitor or graphics card?

A few days ago my viewsonic xg2401 144hz monitor (connected to a gigabyte r9 390 video card) began to black out and freeze my computer.

I tried updating gfx card drivers, windows10 updates to no avail--the monitor will turn black when ever I try to run a program or game.

Thinking it was a deeper rooted registry error I reinstalled windows, wiping my SSD clean completely, starting fresh.

The monitor issue still persists. Is my monitor broke or has my graphics card died? How can I determine what is at fault here?
