I purchased an AOC Q27G2S 27" gaming monitor with NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync support. It offers 165Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, with a resolution of 2560x1440. After returning home from work, I was thrilled to receive it, but upon plugging it in, the power went out in my apartment. I tried using another outlet, but the issue persisted. Could anyone assist or clarify what might be causing this problem? The monitor box and its side are also in question.

It seems unusual; it might be triggering an electrical circuit. I’d test it in a nearby apartment or structure to see if the issue lies with the monitor or the building itself.

It seems like the circuit is getting tripped. Swap the monitor—it might be defective, and it’s better to return it for a replacement instead of wasting time fixing it yourself.

You connect too many devices to your power source.

I looked it over, but it's not what you expect.

That's what I think I'm going to do.

It connects directly to the power source

The issue lies with your neighbors being difficult, plus you lack a separate structure for connection. I've tested various outlets and only managed to power the monitor.

the power brick could be defective. for testing, obtain a different brick from another monitor, verify its voltage—typically between 14 to 19 volts. avoid anything below 14 volts or above the specified range on the original brick. also, ensure the connector matches the original.

There is no power adapter; it links directly to the wall outlet from the monitor. I also tested various outlets throughout the apartment.
