looking for some help

I have a Dell monitor connected to my evga gtx 970 via display port

its full size display port on the card and the mini display port on the monitor but whenever i turn it on its not detecting the display sometimes 

its done this twice now and i havent a clue how to make it work this time

if i use HDMI its fine, it works no problem but i dont want to run it on hdmi because i use it for my TV

 

when i turn the display on it just says entering power save mode and says that its not receiving a signal from  the computer

i have tried using windows display detect button but it just comes up saying another display not connected?

i have looked in the nvidia control panel as well and its not showing anything?

 

does anyone know how to fix this??

Try another DP cable.  If that doesn't work, try another monitor via DP.

i only have one display cable and one monitor that has display port.

the problem only comes up sometimes whenever i have my tv connect via hdmi and monitor via display port

id put a movie onto the tv and turn off my monitor thats when i would usually get this problem

Try other connections like DVI or VGA.  Check your GPU drivers also.
