Hi everyone! I have a problem regarding system boot. I am using an external GPU from Nvidia (MSI GTX 680) and recently upgraded my operating system to Windows 10 (updated the GPU drivers as well). Shortly thereafter I started to have some issues with my screen, particularly during boot time.
What happens is that my monitor (iiyama ProLite E2208HDS) either does not receive a signal (displays a yellow power light) or keeps flashing the blue power button with a constant frequency and not showing anything on screen (everything is black, no cursor). After some time everything is fine, although the screen slowly lightens up instead of being bright immediately. At first it continued happening for a few seconds every time I was booting the system up, currently it exceeds to almost 10 minutes.
Things I have tried already:
- changing power/display cables
- using different ports to connect my graphics card
- switching screens (other monitors do not even receive a signal/don't flash)
- changing GPU drivers
Things I didn't try:
- upgrading to a new BIOS version
- swapping graphics cards because I only have one and my motherboard does not have a GPU
I know that my screen might be dying (I have been using it extensively for about 5 years now), but I hoped buying a new screen would not be necessary. I would like to add I didn't have any problems with my graphics card before and it is relatively new (didn't overclock it either).
Is there any way to fix this? I appreciate every bit of help, thanks in advance!
