Something wrong with GPU&HDMI

[cemunlucerci]

Hello all, yesterday during gaming I went to kitchen for a coffee and when I came back my monitor was not working, hdmi was not being detected. I restarted the system checked the wiring and still was not working. Tried the monitor with my ps4 and was working just fine, also with another hdmi cable was still not working on my pc.

This happened once before as well (by doing a mountain of random solutions it appeared to work), hdmi port not working and everything was fine, I switched to VGA and it is working with the IGD however this way I cant see my GPU in device manager. I'm also not sure if this is normal because I checked the case and gpu seemed to work fine also checked the cables in the motherboard all seemed okay. Since I'm using VGA it makes sense that I cannot use my Gainward 1060 6gb but shouldnt it be listed at least?

I made sure all the drivers were installed for everything but I could not do that for my 1060 because it cannot be detected by the nvidia so it doesnt update the GPU. I see that my GPU has a port for DVI-D as well which can be useful perhaps if my HDMI port is definitively dead. All I can think of is either a windows update gone bad or some weird problem with the HDMI port of the pc.

Full specs:
6GB Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 1xDVI / 1xHDMI 2.0 / 3xDisplayPort
MSI B250M PRO-VDH Intel B250 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR mATX
Intel i5 7500
16 gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 2133
550 Watt Seasonic G-Series G-550 Modular 80+ Gold
Windows 10

--Also checked BIOS and made sure PEG was primary GPU.

I appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance.

PS: For some reason currently I'm not able to perform a Recovery on my PC. So I could not try this.

You are sure you didn't accidently spill the coffee over the GPU? :lol:

but for real, i think it is a problem with the hdmi ports of the gpu, could be caused by electricity short when you were in the kitchen (very rare to happen, so i assume that is not the case).

because as described. hdmi over ps4 works, so no problems with the cable or monitor. tried to connect to hdmi over the normal hdmi ports on your pc instead on the gpu and check if that works?

I had theese issues with rx 480, when I shutdown pc, unplug 6pin connector and power up pc to test another gpu via riser, the gpu goes black after I replug, no detection, nothing. I cleared cmos, powered it up, still black screen (left it like that for a min), then pressed restart once and magically works....
Not sure but i Think that mobo prioritizes for IGPU rather than GPU.
But never a black screen u unless i undervolted it too much.

Try another 6pin/8pin for gpu.

I actually spilled some Coke but thank God it did not reach there. By tinkering a bit more I have actually fixed it. Thanks for the reply though
