Hey everyone! A few weeks ago, I took my computer to my boyfriend's house. Initially, it wouldn't display anything on his monitor, but after some unplugging and power cycling, it finally worked. When I brought it back home, though, my monitors wouldn't show anything. We tried plugging it back into my boyfriend's monitor, and it worked fine there. I don't think the monitors are the issue because I can connect my laptop to them without any problems. I've tried various things to get my PC to work with my own monitors, but nothing's helping! What can I do?

Sounds like there could be a difference in settings. Did you switch between HDMI to DisplayPort or VGA? If so, that might mess with the display options. A reset like the previous person suggested could help with that!
Are you using the same cable for both setups? Also, make sure you're plugging the cable into the GPU each time. Sometimes the ports can be tricky!
You might want to try a forced display reset. After you log in to Windows, press Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B. It can help reset the display settings in case something got wonky.
I'm not using my boyfriend's cable, if that's what you're asking. And yes, I double-checked that I'm connecting it to the GPU!
