Question I need help with Monitor

[danielcabus]

I own an Alienware AW2518HF 24.5" FreeSync Gaming Monitor, 1920 x 1080, 240 Hz and it was working perfectly. About a week ago, I bought an internal SSD so I had to disconnect all cables and open the PC. Now, everytime I turn on the PC, something weird is happening. The monitor displays everything, but when I go to display settings, it shows:

Display Information
Display 1: Connected to Microsoft Basic Display Driver

Desktop resolution: 1920x1080
Active signal resolution: 1920x1080
Refresh rate (Hz): 1 Hz
Bit depth: 8-bit
Color format: RGB
Color space: Standard dynamic range (SDR)

I realized this started happening after I launched a game and it was impossible to play.

However, after 2-5 minutes, the monitor goes black and then displays everything again with:

Display Information
DELL AW2518HF
Display 1: Connected to NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070

Desktop resolution: 1920x1080
Active signal resolution: 1920x1080
Refresh rate (Hz): 239 Hz
Bit depth: 8-bit
Color format: RGB
Color space: Standard dynamic range (SDR)

The monitor works great after that. I am not sure why this is happening. I switched HDMI cables to make sure that wasn't the problem but it kept happening. I also have other gaming consoles connected to the monitor and have no problems with that either.
I appreciate your time with this. Let me know what I can do.

I would reinstall the NVidia driver.....and if that didn't work I would use DDU to uninstall the NVidia driver and then reinstall the Nvidia driver.

So you think the problem is the NVIDIA driver? I'll try that tonight, thank you so much.
