Computer turns on yet monitors say no signal
So, earlier today my monitors randomly went black. The PC was still on but it was clear that it had either crashed or froze, since it didn’t respond to anything. I turned my PC's power on and off and since then I’ve been getting no signal on both displayports and hdmi cables on both my monitors. The PC turns on like usual - fans spinning, no unusual noise - yet my monitors can’t get a signal. I’ve tried DVI, displayports and hdmi cables on both a rtx 2060 card and two different 970s, so I’m confident its not a GPU issue.
If anyone has an idea of what could be causing this please reach out. Would be much appreciated.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Hi @mikebach,
What is the make and model number of the PC or the motherboard if a custom build?
Can you get into BIOS with a display?

I have a Z170A MSI motherboard with an intel graphics card, 16gb of ram, i-7 6700k, rtx 2060 and a cooler master v1000 PSU.
After removing the gaming GPUs completely I managed to get a signal to my 1080p monitor through an hdmi cable from the motherboard's intel graphics card. However, the computer is still struggling since there are green, flickering pixels on the monitor. I also tried plugging the hdmi cable into my 4k monitor but there I get no signal. I'm clearly not very smart about this sort of stuff but from what I've read online I'm thinking that it's my PSU that is struggling to provide enough power. I've tried reseating ram, disconnecting various other stuff, resetting the cmos through BIOS and by removing it and still nothing.

Started having this exact same issue today! After multiple HDMI leads and even trying a display port into HDMI it's still having the same issue.
Can anyone help fix this as I am starting to think it's a graphics card issue as that's what my HDMI plugs into. Don't fancy forking out shed loads on a new graphics card if it can be fixed.
Thanks in advance

There are too many people having the same problem. So it has to be something within Microsofts system. Myself and many have done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. It also happens randomly. Sometimes it works just fine for several weeks and then stops. Microsoft will have to figure out the problem (bug) and send a fix. Hope it is soon as this interfere with my work. By the way, I have a very nice PC system, so I don't think it is my cords, graphic card, bad monitor, or old drivers. It is something in the system. What do you think?
