Hey there, I’m facing a tricky problem with my new PC setup. Here’s what I’ve noticed: The GPU works fine when connecting via HDMI, but using DisplayPort causes static and a black screen after a few seconds, even though the system boots normally. Switching back to HDMI fixes it. When both ports are used together, the issue persists on the DP side. I’ve tried reinstalling AMD drivers, updated BIOS, swapped cables, and tested on different monitors. It seems like the problem might be related to DisplayPort compatibility or a GPU-specific quirk. Any tips or experiences from others would be super helpful. Thanks! IMG_3604.mov

Are you certain it's not the monitor causing the problem? You've handled everything properly. The monitor could have a faulty DP plug.

I'm almost certain it's a DP monitor, but I'm not entirely sure yet. Possibly it's just sitting somewhere.
