VG248QE Weird issue.

[Swifts_Tech_Talks]

So please read through all of this, this monitor is being an absolute pain in the ass

 

So this monitor was working perfectly fine using displayport with my dual rx 580s (I have a 2nd monitor too, its just my tv above my monitor)

 

Then I decided to try and benchmark and overclock my HD 5850, so I did that and when I was done I decided to put my RX 580 back in (I kept the 2nd card in during the benchmarking)

 

Now whenever I turn on my pc the monitor will show the bios flash screen and windows loading screen but once that is gone it says "displayport no signal" over and over, itll say it the monitor will go to sleep mode and then turn back on saying that on a constant loop. 

 

Without gpu drivers the monitor works perfectly fine and my other pc (gtx 660 rig) it works fine too... 

 

Ive uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, ive unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in and nothing...

 

But here is the catch... If I plug in a dvi cable to the monitor the displayport magically works, I just mirror dvi and displayport monitors (windows thinks I have 3 monitors because dvi and dp are plugged in)

 

So any advice here? 

 

Also tried using just 1 gpu, same thing happens

and now using dvi doesnt work anymore as well, so its not the cable

My VG248QE does this sometimes (I'm also using DisplayPort) and I couldn't figure out why. It'll just say NO SIGNAL and go to sleep even though I damn well know signal is there.

 

Only way that works fixing this for me is to unplug monitor from power and wait for so long that status LED on the power button turns off. Which can take up to 30 seconds or so for capacitors to discharge. When LED goes out, wait a second or two and plug it back in to power. Should work then. I have no clue why it does this.

Yeah thats a really common issue that everyone has

But I fixed my issue, I had the hd 5850 doing 1600x900 resolution so it messed everything up, I installed the 5850 back and set it to 1080p and its fixed

rx 580s work just fine now with the monitor
