Haha ok, I used to use Firefox but switched to chrome because I have a gmail account I use everyday but I can start using Edge or Firefox again. I don't think its related to this problem though because I've used chrome for months now.

I've read that sleep is better for the long term health of desktops and the components inside. Using shutdown instead of sleep isn't a big issue for me because the computer still starts up very quickly anyway. But at this point I kind of just want to solve it because its so strange and I already committed a decent amount…

Actually now that I think of it, that might be related to something I've been experiencing. Elden Ring is the only game I play that after I close the game out, my screen flickers black screen on and off, and somethings for a few seconds. I need to restart or shut down pc to get it to stop. Its also the only game I play…

These are all the programs, the two not showing on the top list are the same xbox ones from the lower list. Tbh I don't know what the xbox driver updates are for, if I had to guess, for the controller I use to play elden ring.

The restore point from Wednesday was an automatic one. The one from yesterday was installed Direct X, I believe from installing a game that uses Direct X, but the problem came back before I installed the game.

It's just weird to me that the monitor can't find a signal when waking up from sleep but its completely fine when turning the pc on after it was shut down. Also that it worked for a few days and randomly stopped working again. No driver or Microsoft updates to cause an issue, just strange.

There are two restore points on the list. One for today at 3:30 pm and the other from Wednesday. 

System Protection is on and I have 12.51 GB dedicated to it. Actually its using 12.51 but I have it set to use 4% or 37.23 GB.

So everything was fine these last few days, waking up the computer from sleep today, the monitor cycled through the four display ports and gave me the no signal message again. I shut the pc down and turned it on again about thirty seconds later and I got the signal no problem. Just tested putting the pc to sleep again and…

Ok, I just woke the computer up and the monitor instantly went to the Windows home screen so it seems that the issue is solved for now! Thanks again Jack, if it happens again or any issues arise I'll report it.

Thanks Jack, I really appreciate all the help and time you have given me this week. I put the pc to sleep last night and I will see if there are any problems when I wake it when I get home later today. If it’s a driver issue the one concern I have, is it possible my gpu is damaged or failing?

Are these the same drivers as the game ready drivers from the Geforce experience app? I had it set to notify me when the newest drivers released and had the latest version installed. Are these different drivers?

Here you go.

So I guess it worked but no idea what that screen tearing was.

This past month when I would try it, the monitor would immediately wake up and start cycling and get no signal. I just tried it now and the screen turned green and pink, with big horizontal blocks of each for about 3-5 seconds and then the sign in screen appeared? Never had that happen, couldn’t get screenshot, it went…

It stays on each port for about two seconds each then says no signal pretty much instantly after. No more than ten seconds.

Yes it cycles through the four again then says no signal and goes to sleep.

It also does the same thing when I wake the computer up.

After the computer goes to sleep the monitor cycles through the four port slots DP1 DP2 HDMI 1 HDMI 2, then it says no signal and goes to sleep, light goes from blue to orange.

I uninstalled both grayed out monitors and restarted. They both disappeared from list.
