Displayport no signal on ASUS VG248QE

[FastGunna]

Just bought a 10ft Displayport cable and havent been able to get it to display anything. Googleing the issue has only come up with unsolved threads on various pc forums. Ive tried changing drivers and restarting my computer. DVI works just fine.

Same problem.

Solved! Pull the powercord for a min. When you power back on everything will be good

I honestly didn't expect that to work, thank you very much! Now I can test out some eyefinity.

I was in the same boat. But next thing that happened is it died completely and nothing worked.
Solution.... New Display Port cable. Apparently those can die.

I've tested everything with my friend the other night we were swaping cables, GPU, ports and even sockets on the motherboard and it turned out you had to pull the cable out for few secounds, anyone knows why this happened?

Pull which powercord?

Display

This helped me more than the original "pull the powercord".

Monitor powercord or? Cause I unplugged the power cord from my monitor and it still came up with display port no signal but DVI works but I really want to use my DP

This helped me more than the original "pull the powercord".

You are my hero. I was about to RMA my monitor after updating video card drivers, vBios, reverting drivers, and buying a new mini displayport.

This worked for me also! I guess leaving the monitor plugged in too long affects the displayport connection.

Thanks so much, i was about to order a new DP cablle!

Found this thread because this would happen when my computer came out of sleep mode. While it's nice to have found a "workaround" like unplugging the monitor, I then have to redo all the darn settings again. Regarding the loss of signal, the only commonality I've seen is if I use Asus monitors and ONLY Asus monitors. Currently have the VG248QE. Never had this problem with Samsung monitors. Unfortunately I've made the mistake of buying Asus monitors to save money the last few times. Just not worth the trouble. Never touching them again.

 

[Sci-Fi Si]

Same as gamesturbation.

Unplugged everything, left for several minutes and - nothing. Just won't switch on. This monitor has lasted less than 24 hours. Also have the VG248QE. An unacceptable waste of my time and money.

I also, didn't think this was going to work but I can confirm that it does. There must be some kind of software protection on ASUS display ports that resets once the Caps drain out (or something similar).

I can't believe this worked, lol... honestly, thanks. I sat here for like an hour and half thinking it was my computer who had messed up because dual monitoring and having the ASUS as a primary screen I tried to recover the whole comp (failed) unplugging ram, powering down powersupply googling for ages which fail description (assumed it was black screen, lol.) til I realised if I tried to hit enter and write my password I got in but no display and eventually got tracked to this post from another where the simplest thing solved my problem.

Kinda embarrasing being a techy and not knowing this. anyhow Thanks again
