    after a BIOS update, my monitor just says No Signal and goes to sleep.. 😅 the PC is definately on, fans spinning, keyboard lights up.

    i'm using a DisplayPort cable that worked fine before. i've tried turning everything off and on again. i'm afraid i've damaged something. what should i check first? i've also checked that the monitor works with my laptop, and it does, instantly. so teh screen is fine. something between the PC and teh monitor just sotpped cooperating. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    oh ive been there lol if it started after a driver update, boot into Safe Mode (interrupt boot three times to reach Windows Recovery), then use DDU to remove teh driver and reinstall a clean one.

    lol

    If you have a dedicated graphics card, make sure the cable is plugged into the card's outputs, not the motherboard's video ports. Those motherboard ports are disabled when a GPU is installed.
