My monitor is just doing some weird things

[Omitsito]

 So here is a video of the main problem; out of "nowhere" the monitor just starts going black and after some of these "flashes" it displays static noise, at times it displays the game again just to go back into the same cycle or the noise persist so the only way of "resetting" is by unplugging and plugging the HDMI cable. Yakuza 0 is unplayable, but on Elden Ring, the black screens happen on loading screens, and SOMETIMES while playing. 

 

The problem started a week ago when I moved the monitor from my room to the desk in the living room (literally on the other side of the wall, not even a meter) so I could work, at first after a couple of minutes on windows it wouldn't detect input and I thought it was the PC but after trying 2 GPU's, 3 different HDMI cables and even making sure it wasn't the PSU or the electric outlet I was convinced that it was the monitor.

 

Something curious is that last week every time it wasn't getting an input it was after something "graphical" happened, like while turning on, wallpaper engine would start and it would make the monitor go black, I would try to open Davinci Resolve and it would go black (BUuUUuUT I knew the PC was up and running cuz I could hear whatever I had on the background through my headphones). But compared to now it no longer stays completely black but weirdly it happens on the loading screens and in the case of Yakuza it freaks out when loading scenes and changing dialogues, and the only thing I did was put it back in my room . It's worth mentioning that a friend gave me the monitor a little bit over 2 months ago since he had to go back to his country. Before moving it last week (I was careful when I put it on my desk just so you know ) I didn't have any problems.

 

(This is the monitor model: MSI Optix MPG27CQ) I do have another display so I will try it later but in case the problem is the monitor either way I would like to fix it so any help would be amazing

It COULD be a dead GPU. Current monitors are not clever enough to screw you whenever you are doing important stuffs, since they don't understand the contents displayed.

I've seen bad power supply capacitors do this. At work, we have dozens and dozens of a particular model with a flawed power supply design. They put a cheap capacitor next to a diode that gets hot enough to discolor the board. That cooks the capacitor and makes it go puffy, and when that happens the monitor makes a hissing noise and the backlight flashes. The post-warranty fix was to replace that one capacitor with a high quality one designed to withstand +125 degrees Celsius.

 

Just to say you checked, try another monitor or TV. That would rule your graphics card out as a cause.

But 2 dead GPU's? I don't have any problem with performance, everything is at max and like I mentioned the games keep running on the back, I can continue playing just with nothing on the monitor plus I bought the main one about 8 months ago

Like the power supply for the monitor? actually, I kinda hear a hissing when the flashing is happening.

Might be the output unit gone bad, monitor off doesn't hinder games running you know.. 

Because the monitor goes black when you tried to do something, like wallpaper, DaVinci. It means load=black screen.

 

But this aside, you should get a monitor replacement if it is really down, you can't repair it, unless you are a real professional.

It's the monitor , I had to go for my 1080p 30inch old plasma TV and it goes perfectly. so unfortunately I have to downgrade from the 1440p 144hz monitor. thanks for the help.

It's the monitor cuz I tried it on my old TV and there are no problems, I mean I've had it on for a couple of days and I forgot to turn it off so probably your reason is the one . Thanks for the help
