Device cannot be powered back on after a period of inactivity.
Hey there, friend. I've been having trouble with my main gaming PC for a while now. It seems like whenever the system is idle and the monitor goes to sleep, it stops responding completely. I tried everything—pressing the mouse or keyboard, turning the power button a few times, reseating the cable, even switching the monitor on and off—but nothing works. Now I have to force a hard reboot for it to come back online.
I've read about some solutions online, like using monitor auto-detect, enabling PCI Express power-saving mode, or updating firmware for DisplayPort. But I'm still not sure what's really causing the issue. My test bench uses an old Dell monitor that doesn't auto-detect, and I manually set up all inputs. The specs are pretty high-end, but it just won't pick itself up.
Could someone help me figure out what might be going wrong? Your advice would mean a lot.
I might have discovered the configuration for my primary gaming PC's AutoSourceSwitch+ on the Samsung Neo G8, yet I remain intrigued about the testing setup.
