Question HDMI port doesn't work on GPU, but DisplayPort does ?

[Mango90]

The short story is: my GPU's HDMI ports don't seem to be working, but were working fine not too long ago.

So, the long story: I used to have a dual monitor set up. I used my AOC monitor as my main, and an older Acer SB220Q monitor as my second monitor. My wife's second monitor went to crap about 6 months ago, and she needed a second monitor more than I did, so I lent her mine. She finally got a new one and I got mine back. To my unpleasant surprise, the monitor, which still works (even tested it on her computer right now again to make sure) doesn't appear on my computer. I tried her new monitor, new cables, nothing. I have 2 x HDMI ports on my GPU and neither of them send a signal to the monitor. I have an i5-10400F, so I can't just connect monitor to my mobo unfortunately.

My GPU is a Asus 2060 Turbo.

Things I've tried:

• clicking on "detect" in windows settings
• Installing new drivers for gpu
• disconnecting the cables from my GPU and waiting for a few minutes
• unplugging monitor
• trying new monitors/cables
• resetting PC, turning it off, etc.

I hope someone can help me.

What is enabled on the monitor itself? Is it set to display port or hdmi?

it only has HDMI and VGA. I set it to HDMI, but it also auto detects. I tested it on another PC and it worked instantly.

Try turning off computer, turn off psu button, then unplug from wall. Hold down the power button on your pc for 30 seconds. Then plug back into wall, turn on psu button, then try to start pc and see if monitor comes on.

Didn't work unfortunately.
The monitor "lit up", like it understood there was a connection, but it said no signal and went all black again

Ok so try unplugging the monitor, cycle the computer once then turn off. Plug the monitor back in and start pc.

I don't know if this is allowed, but I wanted to see if someone could help me as I still haven't discovered the issue to my problem.

I tried what one user suggested, but unfortunately it didn't work.
does anyone have any ideas?

The short story is: my GPU's HDMI ports don't seem to be working, but were working fine not too long ago.

And the short answer is: hardware fails on daily basis, often without any reason what-so-ever.

As of why your GPU HDMI ports died all of a sudden and/or what caused it, your guess is as good as mine. If your GPU has warranty, RMA it. If not, either live with it or buy a new GPU.

Did you found a fix? A similar issue is happening to me but with DP.

the solution was to buy one of those hdmi to display port cables (it's hdmi on one end and display port on the other) and then connect the hdmi end to the gpu, because apparently the problem was with my gpu's hdmi port
