Hey everyone, last night my monitor began flickering and then lost the image completely. I initially thought it was a bad DP connector, but swapping the cable didn’t fix it. My main monitor, a M27Q, is functioning properly and I didn’t encounter any issues there. I tried changing the DP port to see if that would help, but it still didn’t work. Have anyone experienced similar issues? It’s unclear if this points to a monitor problem, GPU, or driver conflict. The WhatsApp Video file from September 5th is attached.

I believe the second monitor linked to the same GPU is likely the issue, especially if it remains active. Possibly the Gigabyte display or the connection cable is the problem.

Check for flickering in UEFI; if it persists, the problem is likely hardware-related. If it stops in UEFI, the issue is probably with drivers—restart and reinstall them.

Are you looking for another computer to connect to briefly?

Both monitors are linked to the GPU. I assumed the cable was damaged after bending the connector a few months ago, but swapping it didn't fix the issue. I'm leaning toward the monitor being the problem, as the warranty is still active.

UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface.

UEFI/BIOS/firmware functions, refer to the same concept. Removes conflicts with Windows in this setting.
