So since changing to a GTX1080, whenever I start the PC (which is brand new) I have occasionally had problems where the PC doesn't send any signal to the monitor.
This has become more and more pronounced and I have had to unplug my DVI to HDMI connection and link the PC to the monitor Evian HDMI to HDMI cable to get a link, log in then swap the cable back to the DVI to HDMI. Once playing it is fine but if I reboot the PC, same problem.
Tonight I have had the same issue again but I can't get the PC to send a signal to the monitor whether I am using either cable. Just happens to be the night that I have a few friends round to see VR and I have a black screen and friends that are highly sceptical of the tech.
Bit lost as to what to do as I can't get in to see the OS and do anything about it...
Have 2 DVI to HDMI cables, neither makes a difference. When I restart I have to unplug the DVI to HDMI and plug in the HDMI to HDMI and reboot. This has worked until tonight when the system just won't output to the monitor. Incredibly frustrating...
Are you completely killing power to the board before retrying? Unplug it or switch the power supply in the back to off. Wait at least 20 seconds and then bring it back up.
