Monitor not displaying.

[Azurumi Shinji]

one monitor works and the other wont display anything no matter what i try but has orange light.

I had a asus VG248QE Black 24 monitor hooked up for a few months now with a Displayport1.2 cable into my gtx 680 4gb GPU. Windows 10.
I had my pc on for a long time without turning it off and one day I decide to turn it off and i tried to turn it back on this morning but nothing was displaying, it still has a orange light on.

I then got a second asus ( different model) monitor with a HDMI cable this time and this time my screen is working and i hooked in monitor 1 at the same time and my pc detects it and switching it as the primary didn't work...I have also tried pressing buttons on the monitor but nothing seems to do anything.
So then i tried the HDMI cable on monitor 1, but it still would not work...

I then open nivida experience and it updated a lot( I keep my gpu drivers up to date every week)...not sure but it KINDA looked like it had to do a fresh install , like i had no drivers or something. But after it finished it gave me a old error i remembered from before saying
" This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

I read that, updating directly from the website might fix this but i have the same exact update already and there is nothing more new or even a beta.

Is my monitor dead or is there something I can do? please help.

Interesting advice, I shall and see if it works. My brother wonders if the monitor has a energy saving mode on or something like that, what you think about that?
Be back soon.

You said you had the Asus VG248QE Black 24 monitor on for a few months but what is its age?... It could be it has a monitor power supply failure. At the right age they can have a few capacitors fail... if that happens, they can run, be normally detected, BIOS beeps normally, Windows loads, etc. but the display stays dark.. Other than opening the monitor to check the capacitors, and or sending it to the repair shop, you can:
1. Remove it from the AC power outlet,
2. press the power button for some 30 seconds to drain the capacitors (and erase the power saving mode if that should be the issue).
3. wait a few minutes,
4. turn it back on while watching the screen... if the screen momentarily flickers or turms on and off, or if you see something displaying in the dark (like when you turn display brightness way down so it gets dark), if you see any of these symptoms, your monitor probably has bad capacitors. If it's within warranty you should return it.. If it's not, you may be able to make it turn on by repeatedly pressing the power button on and off till it stays on, or you may be able to make it turn on by heating the monitor back with a hair dryer blowing hot air through the monitor heat vents... you can try heating it for a few minutes... depending on the ambient temp, you can try up to 10-15 minutes... on warm weather 5 minutes should be enough to know it will or not turn on. If it turn on this way, you can keep it running with a screen saver or sleep mode may keep it turned on and warm... if you shut it down you'r probably have to repeat the whole heating process again. Replacing the monitor's power supply capacitors should restore it.

Thank you! I tried it on the ps3 and it worked and when I tried it on my computer it started to work again! I am guessing unplugging it for 30 seconds is what did the trick. Might have been a power saving feature like chicano mentioned.

thank you Chicano for giving some good advice as well, wish I could give you both best answer but first come first serve. Oh and my monitor was bought brand new from newegg, i have premium and a 3 year warranty on my monitor so I am good incase the worse happens =)

check on asus web page see if there any firmware update for your unit see if your issue was a bug.

Sure, no problem I understand that.... Glad to hear it was a simple fix.
