Need help with DisplayPort cable causing Pc issues.

So, I have this issue I recently switched from HDMI to DisplayPort because HDMI would not display the whole 2560X1440 resolution that my monitor has. When I switched over I started having issues where I would put the PC to sleep then try to wake it back up. The PC fans would start spinning and lights would turn on, but the keyboard or mouse light would not be on and would be unresponsive. A few seconds later the PC would completely shut down. I would have to hold the power button and restart for it to work. When I switch back to HDMI it works again. I really do want to run at 2560X1440. Some steps i have already tried is making sure hibernation is off and resetting power plans to no avail. My PCs specs are listed below

Intel Core i7 3820 CPU

Asus P9X79 motherboard

16GB DDR3 memory

Asus Geforce GTX 1060 6GB GPU

Any help is appreciated :)

try using ddu and clean your graphics drivers then download and install the newest one.. install it using displayport (though it shouldn't really matter, but better to be safe ;) )

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?
