Check for any connection issues with the new LG monitor.
I'm encountering a No Signal alert when attempting to power on my new monitor. It's the LG UltraGear QHD 27-Inch Gaming Monitor 27GL83A-B. I've tested both HDMI and DisplayPort ports on the back of the device, as well as connected it via the PC's back panel. The sequence unfolds like this: once HDMI is active, DP goes to output, then a message appears: "No signal. Please check your connection. HDMI 2 input is connected. Click Ok to automatically switch to HDMI 2 input" – a few seconds later it says "No signal. Entering power-saving mode shortly." An incorrect DisplayPort version setting may cause the display to appear blank. Ensure the monitor's DisplayPort version matches what its connected device supports. After switching to HDMI1, I get another alert: "No signal. The signal is connected to another input. Click Ok and select another input in the input menu." When I connect the HDMI cable to my laptop, it works perfectly. I don't have a DP port available for testing, nor extra cables. The monitor manual only explains the plug-in steps, which I've verified. My motherboard shows no errors either. The cables are firmly connected to the GPU, not the motherboard. CPU, GPU, and base fans operate normally. Lights are on, no error codes or beep sounds. The keyboard is attached to the motherboard but doesn't illuminate or power on. Everything seems new. I reset the monitor settings through the menu, yet the issues persist. I locate the DisplayPort version setting – it's currently set to 1.4, with options 1.2 and 1.1 available. I tried all three, but nothing changed. I double-checked every connection. It appears the GPU has DisplayPort outputs at version 1.4. Is this a limitation? The monitor only accepts 1.4. I'm running out of ideas. Could you assist? My graphics card is a PNY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB XLR8 Gaming Verto Epic-X RGB Triple Fan Graphics Card with DLSS 3. The motherboard is GIGABYTE B650M K (AM5/LGA 1718/AMD/B650/Micro-ATX). RAM is D532GB 6000-32 Ripjaws S5 with K2 GSK | F5-6000J3238F16GX2-RS5W fan. CPU cooler is a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120, and the SSD is an Intel 670p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 QLC SSD. The PSU is an Enermax Revolution D.F. 2 850W Full Modular Power Supply, with an AMD Ryzen™ 7 7700X 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor."
