Last year I bought a new monitor and moved my old one over to use as a secondary monitor. Since the old one is quite used (had it for over 6 years, I think), it has been flickering from time to time but it was mostly fine.
Yesterday, I left the computer on for around 10 minutes to cook some food and came back to find the old monitor off. Thought it was just the cables but that doesn't appear to be the case.
The new monitor is Acer KG271 C, connected to the gpu with an HDMI. Old one is LG W2243S that has a vga cable connected to a dvi adapter then connected into the gpu. I wanted to try moving the adapter to the other port on the gpu but because of the case it doesn't fit.
GPU is Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB. Motherboard is MSI H110M.
I fiddled with the cables and checked if they were damaged in any way and they seem fine. Removed the adapter and connected the vga to my laptop and it works fine so I assume the cable is fine. Connected vga directly to my pc's motherboard but that didn't work either. I tried updating my graphics card drivers, no change. Tried uninstalling through device manager then reinstalling, no change. Tried the detect button in the settings, nothing.
