Hi everybody.
My current configuration includes: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 overclocked to 3.8 GHz, MSI B350 GAMING PLUS, MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB, Corsair CXM 550 W, and a BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P 24.0" monitor with Display Port cable.
Recently, using MSI AfterBurner, I attempted to overclock the RTX 2070, which successfully reached +200 MHz. I also tested adding 40 MHz, which brought it up to +240 MHz. However, after a reset, the system crashed and failed to boot. The monitor still showed no cable connected. I changed cables, tried HDMI instead of Display Port, and even booted without a graphics card connected via HDMI, but nothing worked. Eventually, I replaced the monitor with an older 60Hz ASUS model, which functioned perfectly.

Now I’m wondering: how does the BenQ 144 Hz monitor behave? It powers on but doesn’t recognize any cable or connected PC. Did overclocking the GPU damage my monitor?

I figured out the issue.
After the crash from the overclock, the monitor changed to HDMI using the display port cable. I don’t know why it did that.
Everything seems fine now—monitor and GPU are still working. Yay!
