artifacting Complicated computer problem.. PLEASE HELP

[ToxicBubbles]

My computer screen gets all screwed up, like artifacting, whenever I plug it into the Graphics Card. I have a Nvidia 1060. At first we thought it was the graphics card dead or loose, so we got a new one, same problem. Then we thought it was the motherboard, which I highly doubted, THEN we figured out it's only a problem on certain monitors.. Like I have 2 monitors upstairs that have the problem, but the one monitor downstairs works perfectly.

Solutions I tried:

Factory resetting monitor

Switching up cables

Getting a new graphics card

try contacting the monitor manufacturer

You are aware that monitors are not hotpluggable?

What? You can connect/disconnect monitors while a computer is on.

Sure you can do that, and it might damage the monitor or the graphics card or both.

WTH? I’ve never heard of that on any modern system. I do that all the time on systems that can’t go down. I don’t know where you’re getting that from.

Can you show where it says in the specification of VGA, HDMI, DVI, display port and what else there might be connections that they are designed to be hotpluggable?

 

It´s not even a problem because you can turn off either the monitor or the computer to plug/unplug it.  I always do that.
