yeah that's where my head is at as well... I'm just not yet emotionally ready for that reality

I'm sorry about your glove. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that every time i see this picture, it makes me chuckle. But no pressure :)

I havn't yet, might later today. But I'm convinced its a gpu thing at this point. Might have bashed the hdmi cable a little to hard in the port trying to install it or something dumb like that. Its the only thing that I can think off that slightly makes sense, as it was working perfectly 5 minutes before, and nothing else has happened (other than plugging in an HDD, and I already tried unplugging that)

You're pretty much describing the process i went trough, with some altered details. Power outage fried my HDD, ended up replacing it. Suddenly monitor doesn't work after reconnecting it. Tried the DP cable i had lying around, tried the 2nd HDMI port, both with the same HDMI cable and a different one. Tried a different monitor. (i don't have a 2nd system I could hook my monitor to, but at this point I'm fairly sure it has to do with the HDMI port of the GPU which I simply don't have the funds to replace... Might have a guy look at it, maby he knows something I don't)

I only understand half of that, but either way it sounds annoying af

maby I should have googled '/s' first... :') At least we now know 31 is NOT the charm.

Nah :'), at least not the first 30 or so times i tried. Maby 31 is the charm.

it has power. I can use the buttons to select the channel. The only place where my pc seems to recognise it is in the monitor selection screen of my gpu drivers.... i cant select it there. Not sure if it recognises the monitor or if its just a ghost from having previously recognised it.

Edit: a different hdmi monitor or cable give the same result. "no Signal"

Oh, yeah that fixed it!

 

I -was- going to find a community who might help me with my problem, but then I found this place and it's obviously much more constructive to bitch about it than to actually try to fix it. Shame on me for not seeing that right away.

So my HDD died on me, and after some fussing around I ordered a shiny new replacement. So after waiting for the mailman like a proper doggo, I installed my shiny new toy, booted my pc and... on of my monitors now doesn't work.

I don't know why. I tried a new hdmi-cable, I tried a new monitor. my 2nd monitor works perfectly. I updated my drivers and tried a handstand. nothing. For the rest my pc works fine. The new hard disk works like a charm. But why doesn't my monitor work? If I fix it, will my mouse stop working?

I will still chill and play games tonight, but I will be mildly furiously staring at the black screen next to it every chance i get.
