okey, so today when i turned on my PC was fine and dandy, then i turned it off for a while and when i turned it on again and somehow it just cant be detected by my monitor. why is that?
some of my friends said that it could be because of my RAM sticks, but i recently ( 2 months ago) changed my RAM sticks, so i dont think its the RAM.
ow yeah i already try to connect my monitor to my laptop and it was able to detect my laptop.
do you guys know why? and what is the solution for this problem

my specs are:
CPU: Intel Core I7 - 2600K
GPU: Gefore GTX 1050 TI
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
HDD: 1 TB Seagate Barracuda
Mobo: Intel Coorporation h61
OS: Windows 10 Pro (Version: 20H2)
PSU: Corsair VS 650
 
Solution
The back of your motherboard should have some video outputs.
Perhaps vga or dvi; not likely hdmi.
If you have a monitor that can connect to that, you will bypass the GTX1050ti .
Possibly, an adapter will let you connect to your monitor.
If you can connect, it would suggest that your GTX1050ti is at fault.
Or, if you can borrow another graphics card, test with that.

Sometimes, a psu can cause strange issues, and the VS650 is not very good.
Can you test with a known good psu replacement.

Is your cpu cooler possibly loose, or the fan not spinning?
Have you ever removed the 2600K from the cpu socket?
Have you being able to test with another monitor, or test your monitor to another computer? That way you should be able to tell if the problem lies with the monitor or the computer?

Also - have the computer shown any sign of instability lately ?

Yes i have, i pluged my laptop to my monitor and it was able to detect my laptop with no problems.
As for sign of instability, no, i dont think so. Before the problem happened, i literally was playing video games with no error at all, having the same fps as always and the temperature shown 54-56 C.
Then when i took a rest for an hour, and turned it on again, my monitor just wont display anything
 
What might have changed since all was ok?

1. If your monitor has multiple inputs, verify that the correct input is plugged in and that the monitor has that assigned as input.

2. Possibly the monitor cable is loose or damaged.
I have verified that the cable is on hdmi input and so is the moniter is assigned to hdmi input also.
I also checked my monitor cable and the hdmi cable, found no visual problems and i made sure that i put the cable all the way in and snug.
I switch to another hdmi cable which i know is working since that cable is from my TV which has no problems

Ow yeah, i dont know what might have changed since the last time it was okey. Since i literally was gaming on that device about an hour before it started to acted up on me

Yes it has vga on the back of my mobo, should i take out my gpu first before connecting my monitor to my mobo?
I live abroad so i dont really have people whom i can borrow a gpu or psu to test my pc.
My cpu cooler is tight fit to my cpu and the fans are spinning fast. And since the first time i built my pc until now, ive never remove my cpu from its socket

How do i use my integrated graphics?
I mean i dont think my cpu has any integrated gpu in right?
You remove graphics card from system and connect monitor to video output on motherboard.
Graphics card has to be physically removed or else integrated graphics is automatically disabled and unavailable.
I7 - 2600K has integrated graphics.

Okey, so i have tried to remove my gpu and remove my CMOS battery, wait about 3-4 mins then plug it back in.
Then i plug vga cable straight to my mobo and connect it to my monitor...
Yet my monitor still display no signal 🙁(
Why is that happening doe????
 
You'll have to do some more extensive diagnosing (or take the pc to someone, who can diagnose it for you).

HDD may have died. Disconnect HDD and see, if you can load into BIOS.
Some USB device may have died and is shorting out. Disconnect all USB devices.
PSU may have died. Try with a different PSU.
Ram may have died. Try with single ram module. Try the module in different ram slots. Try different modules.
Motherboard may have died. Replace the motherboard.

Alright, i thought i could cheap out and fix it myself.
Well i guess i have to bring it to the shop then.
Thanks for the input guys

Okay, so i want to update about my current pc condition.
So, i brought my pc to repair shop and when i arrived there and tried using the monitor in that shop and somehow that monitor able to detect my pc and it was running fine using the monitor in that shop.
So i thought that the problem is somehow fix by itself, then when i arrived home when i try it again using my own monitor, again it just wont detect anything.
Naturally i would think that its my monitor thats broken, but the weird thing is that i can connect to my laptop and even PS4 using the same monitor that i own and the same HDMI cable. My monitor just wont detect my PC.
Could it be because of software problem?
