Hey all, 

 

So I custom build my rig about 8 months ago and everything has been fine till 2 days ago where my screen is saying no signal detected. I'll post my computer details below then I'll cover what I have already attempted:

 

OS: Windows 10

Motherboard: Z170X - Gaming 3..... Version: F6

Processor: Intel Core i5 6600K 

GPU: MSI GTX 1060 3GB

 

Note: I'm running a Dual Monitor Set Up.

 

Two days ago, I was watching netflix like normal. I left my house for 2 hours and when I came back, I shook the mouse to wake the computer up and my second monitor was saying NO CABLE DETECTED. I changed the input on the monitor to HDMI hoping it would work but it just says NO SIGNAL DETECTED now instead. To be specific, the monitor that doesn't work was connected through HDMI and is a BENQ GL2760H running at 60hz. My other monitor that is still working is connected via DP and is an AOC G2460PF running at 144hz. Since nothing out of the ordinary happened before i left my house and I wasn't downloading anything while I was gone I thought maybe there was an automatic update while I was gone that messed things up so...

 

1. I recovered my computer to a point that was saved 5 days ago. No change. I undid the recovery.

2. I updated everything on my motherboard(GIGABYTE) and the drivers for the graphics card(NVIDIA).

3. I can confirm the monitor indeed works because I can connect it to my PS4 via HDMI and it works.

4. I can confirm the HDMI cable works as I've tried 3 cords.

5. I connected the HDMI cord to my currently working AOC G2460PF and I get a no signal detected error as well.

 

NOTE: The BENQ ONLY has an hdmi port available and my graphics card has 1 HDMI port and 3 DP.

 

Thanks in advance, 

Jonathan
