I'm having a frustrating issue with my PC setup. When I turn on my computer, the monitor sometimes shows a signal, but often it doesn't and just displays 'No signal detected' before going into sleep mode. I have to constantly turn the monitor off and on, and click around or spam the keyboard to get it to boot up properly, which is really annoying. This happens especially when I need to access the BIOS, as the monitor loses signal completely. I've tried switching HDMI cables and connecting to different HDMI ports on both the GPU and motherboard, but nothing seems to help. My previous monitor didn't have these issues. Is there a way to fix this for my current setup? For reference, my PC specs are an i7 4790, RX 570 GPU, and an LG UltraGear monitor.

Yes, switching to the iGPU could potentially solve your issue. To do it, just connect your monitor to the HDMI port on your motherboard instead of the GPU. You might need to go into BIOS and ensure the iGPU is enabled. It might feel slower, but it could help with the signal loss during startup. Just remember to switch back to the RX 570 for gaming!
It sounds like a pain! Have you tried using the integrated graphics on your CPU instead of the RX 570? Sometimes, that can help with signal issues on startup. You'd need to switch your monitor connection to the motherboard's HDMI port. Just note that while the iGPU might struggle a bit with gaming, it should work fine for BIOS access or simple tasks. Give it a shot and see if it makes a difference!
