Hardware: Acer GN246HL Monitor and GTX1060 Graphics card, plus some MSI motherboard that i can try to find out what was if it could be helpful



So I doing normal stuff on my pc when i noticed my hard drive running excessively slow, i ignored it at first but as it became more irritating i bothered to reopen my pc to adjust it and assure nothing was wrong. I removed all the cable connections from the pc and the wall, usbs, and monitor normally. i opened the side panel and simply unplugged and replugged the sata cable into the hard drive. then i placed the panel back on not bothering anything else. However when i replugged everything back in my monitor was consistently displaying no signal despite my DVI-D cable being plugged into the monitor and the graphics card and it working previously. I attempted to unplug the DVI-D cable and use the HDMI port instead with the cable i had previously had been using for my tv (so i knew it was functional) however that didn't change monitor from no signal either. I finally was forced to plug the dvi-d cable into my motherboards port to get it to work at all. As i am aware this cuts into the effectiveness of my video card and is becoming somewhat problematic for some of the things i do. I was wondering if anyone here has any idea how i could fix this, or at least an explanation to what might've happened.



(also im not sure its relevant but replugging the hard drive did fix the hard drive issues)

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: I'm assuming it's Windows 10.

How old is your PSU? have you tried booting into BIOS? Are you on the latest BIOS revision for your motherboard?
