Occasional connectivity issues with the Zotac 3060Ti.
Occasional connectivity issues with the Zotac 3060Ti.
I assembled my initial PC. Components: Processor – AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (with built-in cooler), Graphics – Zotac 3060ti Twin Edge LHR Board, Storage – NVMe SSD WD 570 1TB plus Crucial P2 500GB, RAM – Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB at 3600MHz, Case – NZXT C650, Enclosure – iCue 4000X. I’ve been operating it for a few months. My HP v224h 1080p 60Hz monitor was functioning properly. Recently, I acquired a TCL C735 4K TV (144Hz) and attempted to link them. I connected the monitor via DisplayPort and the TV through HDMI to HDMI. The cable I use is a Ugreen HDMI 2.1, 5-meter version rated for 8K at 60Hz (48gbps). I notice intermittent signal loss where the display goes blank briefly. Occasionally there’s interference causing partial images or noise. No specific application triggers this. Even when the PC starts up without any app running, the issue persists. Only one cable supports 4K at 120Hz and a single monitor is connected. The problem disappears when I remove any component from this setup. However, when I switch to 1080p at 30Hz, the issue remains unresolved. This suggests more than just bandwidth limitations. Additionally, I suspect potential power quality issues—voltages fluctuate between 220 and 275V, and the neutral line shows spikes above 200V. Since none of my devices are grounded, it’s possible the wiring is contributing to interference. Drivers are up to date. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi HamzaJutt, It seems you're facing some problems with the TV display when connected to your PC. Here are some possible reasons and steps to check: Review the connections: Verify that the HDMI and DisplayPort cables are firmly attached to both the TV and PC and are in good shape. Adjust settings: Confirm that both devices are configured with the appropriate resolution and refresh rate. Test another port: Try using a different output port on the TV to determine if it resolves the issue. Look for interference: Other household devices using the same frequency might cause disruptions. Disable nearby gadgets: Turn off any other electronics that could be causing interference and see if the problem disappears. Examine software updates: Ensure your PC has the latest graphics drivers installed. If needed, revert to an older version to check for fixes. Assess power quality: Dirty power can affect performance—consider using a quality uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Brands such as APC, CyberPower and Tripp Lite provide dependable options. These tips should help troubleshoot. If the problem continues, reaching out to the manufacturer for support might be wise.
Thanks for the update. I managed to locate an HDMI cable that came with my Xbox One S. It performed well at 4K 120Hz and 1440p 144Hz. It looks like the problem might be related to the cable itself or its length. A 5-meter cable seems sufficient for a 1080p 60Hz display. I’m wondering if adjusting software settings would help with longer cables, or if the cable simply can’t handle higher refresh rates over that distance.
It's possible your problem stemmed from the HDMI cable itself—either it couldn't handle 4K at 120Hz or the distance caused signal degradation. Generally, HDMI can carry strong signals over moderate lengths without major quality drops. As the cable length increases, more chances arise for loss or interference. This is particularly relevant for high-bandwidth formats like 4K 120Hz. You don’t need to adjust software settings with a longer cable, but opting for a better-quality one might help maintain signal integrity. The HDMI cable you used with your TCL TV seems to work well, indicating it supports the needed bandwidth. If you still face issues with a 5-meter cable, consider using a shorter one or a higher-grade option. Switching to another connection like DisplayPort could also be beneficial, as it supports similar speeds and is less prone to long-distance problems.
