Basically, i was playing a game, came across a memory error which completely crashed the game and both of my screens went black. My discord was refusing to open prior to that hence why I was suspicious from the start. Anyway here is the chronological order of events:
1. Game crashes + Monitors go blank
2. Both monitors refuse to turn on when PC is restarted so step 3
3. I take out the RAM and place it back in.
4. Boot the system and monitor(2) no longer has a blank screen.
5. Monitor (1) refuses to turn on
6. I swap out the HDMI cables after playing around with the mointor for a while
7. Monitor (1) turns on but monitor (2) goes blank.
8. I am stuck and have no idea what to do.

I have tried:
Taking out the RAM and changing it
Changing out both cables
Updating my drivers
Scanning for viruses with malwarebytes + avast

LOL don't apologize. It happens to the best of us. I had a monitor issue where the screen was black, but the power switch was lit on the monitor. I did everything you did and it ended up being the power cord was pulled out an 1/8". I pushed it back in and all has been well for 2 years so far. Glad it was an easy fix
