Video Display Problem

[✪ Sorcier]

Relevant System Info:

 

Asus VG248QE - This is a 144hz Monitor and that's what I run.

Dell 23" IPS Panel

EVGA GTX 980Ti

850W Corsair RM

 

--------------------------------------

 

Problem:

 

Went to bed everything was okay, woke up and my monitor looked like the picture.

 

I'm using the Display Port ( if that matters ) 

 

Things I've done:

 

Changed from Display Port to DVI ( result black screen )

Changed back to original setup ( Display Port on Asus Monitor - DVI on Dell )

 

Restarted PC - Issue resolved

 

---------------------------------

 

I've been building my own PC's since I was 13, I am now 32. I've seen a lot, but I've honestly never seen this.

 

I was thinking a driver crash, but I've never seen a driver crash do this.

 

I'm new to Display Port ( just started using it 2 weeks ago ) so I thought maybe that was the problem, no clue.

 

PC has been working fine since I started using the Display Port until this. No other known issues.

 

If you need any more info, ask and I'll give you what I can.

Like it says, a restart fixed the issue, but I'm trying to find out what caused it and why so that I can hopefully not have the problem again.

Looks like what my screen does when I OC the refresh rate by 1 or 2 Hz too much. As to why it happened, who knows. My guess is that it was a strange one-time thing and probably isn't likely to happen again.
