The driver is swapping out and being reinsertered. Depending on your card and monitor, you may just need to unplug and replug your monitor to force it to switch/set mode.
If it's killing your desktop session as well, that sounds like something you have installed is problematic as this shouldn't happen.
If you can still ping and ssh into the machine, it's still fine and doing what it should, but some other combination of things are causing your display to not come back online.
I think that's a good idea. I can't believe I didn't try unplugging the monitor.
I don't know what I would have that could cause it. I just have an out of the box Pop OS install with steam and some other regular apps. All I do on this computer is browse the web and play games for the most part.
