Okay, this is a weird one...
I was having an issue with my monitor getting stuck in "power save mode" (no input detected) if my computer restarts. It ONLY happens with a restart. The only way to get my monitor to work again is to hard shut down the computer by holding the power button down, then booting back up. If I shut down completely and then cold boot, it works fine.
Okay, so I initially assumed it was a problem with the monitor (Dell S2440L) because it did the same thing with my old computer. I now have a brand new build (https://pcpartpicker.com/b/6t4qqs).
The reason I started to wonder about the GPU is because in an effort to NOT have to hard reboot, I tried plugging the HDMI cable into my TV, and there was no signal detected. I then tried connecting the digital (DVI?) into an older monitor, and again, no signal! SO I reverted to the hard reboot which of course fixed the issue, but now I'm wondering...
Is it the monitor, the gpu, both?
OS is Windows 10. CPU is Ryzen 2700X, so no integrated graphics, and unfortunately, no, I have no other gpu to test.
Any tips?
