No Input from Display Port

[Rekiam]

A couple of days ago, I came back to my desktop computer after having lunch and found that my monitor was reporting "Display Port No Input". Computer was working fine all morning, if I left it idle for a while the screen would automatically turn off but hitting a button would wake it up. I had this issue before, so I just restarted my computer and monitor but this time it didn't work. I changed the cable to the other ports of my GTX 1070, but still didn't get any image. I tested with another DP cable but didn't get any image on it or with any of the video card output slots for DP. I did get image from HDMI and DVI on the video card. Next, I grabbed a laptop with a DP output and connected it to the monitor, I did get image with both cables I had used previously on the desktop computer. So currently, I'm using the DVI connection, but would eventually like to return do DP especially if/when I get more monitors.

 

What would be the issue in this case? I was thinking of using DDU and then installing the latest drivers to see if this fixes it. As a last resort I would have to format the computer and reinstall the OS. If you guys have any other recommendations I would be grateful. Just hoping that the issue is not the video card as getting an RMA for the card would take an extremely long time to send the card and get it back again. Taking the card out and testing it on another system will be difficult, as I would have to find someone with a computer to install the card into. Might try testing it on the computers at my workplace, but I doubt any of them would have a PSU that can handle the card.

OK you could try power off, take card out, wait a while to be safe, and checking the port. Look for damage, corrosion, or something that could block signal. I would try reinstalling/updating drivers first. Use geforce experience for that.

DON'T use Geforce Experience it sucks.  OP go with your gut.  Safe Mode-DDU-Latest drivers. First port of call when there's graphics card issues
