An old problem in my PC has resurfaced.
For no reason whatsoever, the monitor will suddenly stop receiving signal and will display the message "no signal detected".
Ordinarily I'd just force shut down by holding in the power button, then reboot and it will come back on.
Alas, today I can't get any signal after it happened again (for the first time in about a month).
PC specs are:
Intel i7 4790s (or 4970s?)
Windows 8 64-bit
16Gb HyperX Fury RAM
GTX970
MSI G3 Motherboard (or something, honestly can't remember the exact model and can't get a display to tell you).
And the aforementioned:
BenQ 27in senseye 3 1440p monitor.
I've had it for less than 1 year.
I've tried the display port slot and HDMI slot in both the GPU and the MB with no success.
What's odd is that my PC must know there is a problem because all I have to do is press the power button and it instantly shuts down, rather than hold it in.
I know nothing about how PCs work. Any help would be appreciated.
