Question Monitor and potentially PC problems?
Question Monitor and potentially PC problems?
In the past week, my monitor has experienced random black strips and full blackouts. Audio remained audible, but everything seemed normal. The issue recently escalated, causing the screen to go completely dark, losing all audio, and disrupting keyboard, mouse, and PC case functionality. Processes froze briefly before a device connection noise was heard. I tried switching to a different display port cable, but no improvement has been seen until now. Previously, I was using dual monitors and encountered freezing, so removing the new monitor resolved the problem. It’s now urgent to resolve the flickering before attempting a dual monitor setup again. I also updated my GPU drivers.
I also made updates to my GPU drivers.
Here’s how I went about it:
