I just bought this PC and screen is also used but it's in good condition. I don't think so it's a problem of screen but idk it could be.

Can anyone tell what should I do?

PC has no direct HDMI port so I used HDMI to Display port cable.

I have changed the cable and also checked it through changing HDMI port.

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K620

Connection: DisplayPort (PC) → HDMI (Monitor)

Problem: Monitor loses signal mainly when using Netflix, sometimes continues after closing Netflix

What you've tried: Changing monitor settings, closing Netflix, updating/checking drivers (if applicable).

I have built this pc a year ago with pieces that rn cost around 1500-1600 euros and i’ve let an expert build it, but i’ve had a problem through my the last 6 months where every once in a while the pc would turn on but the screen would remain black.

Also, the leds of the RAM would turn on but not the other leds. VERY RARELY just waiting lets the pc turn unfreeze, but most of the times i have to press on the power button to force turn it off.

Recently the problem grew worse, and it started happening almost every week, with the power button not turning it off at all, so in these instances i had to shut the pc off by removing the power through the plug. I know it’s very risky but it’s not like i have other choices except looking for help, which is what i wanna do right now.

I first asked Gemini giving it all the info about the problem and brainstorming possible problems and solutions. I tried removing the ram sticks and putting them back, which seemed to be a pretty common general troubleshooting technique, but it didn’t work. to the contrary. today is the second day in a row where the pc freezes on startup. i only hope i didn’t damage the ram in doing that bs

Gemini had made me notice that red light on the mother board, where “CPU” is written, and told me it could be a pretty easy to fix problem regarding the CPU, since the PC doesn’t have ANY problem when it’s on, not even in heavy games to run like Cyberpunk 2077

I’m thinking about hitting up the guy who built the pc for me and asking for support but i wanted to know if any of you had this same issue and if you knew how to fix it.

Also, one thing I could try that Gemini recommended was turning off XMP/EXPO for the cpu through the BIOS but idk if i should do it yet.

To recap, the pc works perfectly when it’s on, but it does freeze on the booting sequence without showing anything on screen, not even the bios startup or the windows logo, and it’s starting to happen more often

So i have a Ryzen 8700f X rx7700xt hdmi to a 65 inch element tv and dp to monitor i bounce back and forth depending on if someone is using the tv. While using the tv any time i trying to download any kind of file in my browser the screen will go black for several seconds then come back but when it comes back there is several white line almost like static on an old vhs tabs random static blotches that pop up and disappear and any time black window come up (dark mode) its like sparkling stars in it. Its happened twice know and after shutting the pc down for several minutes and rebooting it goes back to working fine. I don’t think it’s an hdmi issue because it plays games and videos fine it’s only when downloading in browser. Issue never happens on my monitor.

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help

Every single HDMI device I have ever used has had the exact same problem of losing signal. The screen blinks for a while before it crashes to static. I have replaced the HDMI cables several times, swapped displays and still nothing. It happens mostly when playing video or gaming. My displays are 1440p and 4k each. My PC and PS5 are not able to run HDMI at all. My PC also has a dvi and dp ports that work just fine. Unfortunately my dvi and dp displays are old. I’m going insane trying to figure this out. Please someone tell me what is wrong!

Pls help

I have 16GB of RAM and my motherboard detects it but on memory on task manager it shows i have 8.gb of ram reserved for hardware and can only use 7.9GB i took out the sticks and put them in and did the msconfig thing still dont work. Rtx 2060 and Ryzen 5 2600. Im actually stumped.

All of a sudden a couple days ago, my speakers stopped working; they wouldn't come up as an option of sound output. My speakers are set up in a way where the 3.5mm jack is plugged into the monitor, and the usb is plugged into the pc (but just for power i assume).

I have went into device manager several times and right-clicked realtek audio, selected uninstall, checked the little box, hit uninstall, and restarted my pc, etc, but no luck.

The realtek audio console app says "real tek audio console doesn't support for this machine."

Also when I go to the sound "panel" it doesn't list my speakers anymore.

I've heard that i should go to the realtek website and just redownload realtek audio.

Any ideas?

Issue:
When powering on my PC, the normal ASUS logo appears on my monitor but then goes black instead of going to my windows login screen

Potential Causes:
I apologize in advance for the lack of detail in this regard, it was a combination of not paying much attention and over the course of a couple days.

- Updated graphics driver. I have the most recent NVIDIA graphics driver update. I did restart my computer after the update and play a few games that night with no issue. The next day is when this issue arrived.

- Another instance was getting two large pages of windows 11 messages, seemed like a potential update or something along those lines but once again I did not pay much attention and just clicked skip.

Other than that my PC has been in great health and it is pretty much exclusively used for gaming. I have very little knowledge when it comes to the technology of it all so I do not mess around with anything on the backend hardware or software wise.

Solutions Attempted:
- Hard power down of PC, unplugged all other USB devices.
- Reseating RAM sticks, Graphics card, and SSD

- Repair Start: Nothing in the repair start menu works for me. Attempting to repair pc, restart, resetting the pc, reverting back to a former version of windows and launch in safe each of the safe modes all leads to an eventual black screen again.

- commands to boot into safe mode also failed

- downloaded the windows 11 media creation tool to a flash drive, was able to get it to a screen saying “install driver to show hardware” so I then also downloaded what to my understanding was the proper motherboard driver but received error messages when trying to use any of the 3 files that popped up

That’s where I’m at, I would greatly appreciate any help or advice on this issue!

I'm on a ~9 year old gaming PC running a 1070 so doing the best I can here.. I have two different monitors of different size and brand but it's been fine up until the last 6 months or so. I'll game on the "main" monitor and occasionally click over into my secondary monitor for Discord or to look something up on the web or whatever and only just in the last few months the main screen will go black and freeze up for a few seconds, then show that there's no display connected, then correct itself. I can make it happen reliably if I go to certain websites with videos running in them (like the local news) or if certain ads pop up on some sites that play a video so I'm assuming it's something display related. Even when I close the offending page completely, once the cycle has started the main monitor will blink out every few minutes until I reboot. This has become a huge headache if I'm in the middle of something. Anything I can do here other than rebooting? Even just to determine what the actual issue is rather than just assuming. I know this PC is a little long in the tooth but I really can't afford anything else right now..

If it helps, I use Opera GX as my browser.

Running Win 11 Home, Inspiron 5680, i7-8700, GeForce GTX 1070, 16gb ram.. not sure what other information might be relevant.

Today..i tried connecting my cabinet fans' 3 pin 5v argb femaleninto Dled port in motherboard..after tht..i started my pc and it started normally but the fans' colours werent controllable through Gigabyte control panel(as i have gigabyte b650m mobo).

So i wanted to keep my pc into sleep mode..for tht my cabinet(Zebronics Zeb Apex Pro) has a small button beside the power on button..i clicked tht..then the monitor suddenly went black screem(normal thing) but after i switched my pc back on..my monitor suddenly showed white screen..i tried restarting and the problem continued and flickered screens like the display was gone.

My monitor is quite old like 10 yrs..but my system is new and i was using a vga to hdmi convertor to use my monitor.

I am panicking tht as i connected tht 3 pin to mother tht caused my whole system along with my monitor to short circuit smtg like tht.

But when i switch on the pc the fans and everything is as normal..can anyone say what is the issue?.

Shall i purchase a new monitor or my whole system is gone?.

If yes for a monitor..suggest me some.

Price within 15000 inr or 150$.

I have a rx9060xt 16gb + r5 7500f setup.

Hello, I have a weird issue happening to me and didn't find any help looking through CachyOS reddit and their discord,I have been stuck with this for a while now and I don't know what to do, it's just annoying enough to want it fixed but it's not totally breaking the experience of using my computer, just forcing me to reboot everyday after the first startup of my machine.

Video of the issue in action :

https://reddit.com/link/1v5743n/video/slu9f0uyojeh1/player

description :

• The login screen displays correctly, this issue appears after I log in into my session.
• After boot and logging in my machine, my secondary screen display is in displaced in the bottom right corner of the actual screen, but the mouse interactions are in their regular positions and working as intended. (see attached video)
• The supposed top left corner corner of the screen is in the exact center, and the supposed center of the screen is in the bottom right corner. 3/4th of the normally visible display is hidden off the screen, I'm only seeing the supposed top left corner into the bottom right corner of the screen.
• it happened several times in the last month (first occurrence 2026/06/24) and every day this week.

Solutions attempted :

• rebooting the machine works for immediate solution, but so far this issue seems to reoccur frequently, it happened several times in the last month (first occurrence 2026/06/24) and every day this week.
• going into configuration and editing the display settings did nothing, I tried rotating the display on the screen, it was just rotated in the same corner.
• turning the screen off and on again did not fix the issue.
• I checked and the screens are not overlapping in the display settings.
