Monitor Goes Black and Loses Signal Even After Changing Cables

Asked by MapleOrbit42
I swapped monitors and replaced the HDMI connection with DisplayPort, but the problem continues. While using the computer, the monitor suddenly stops receiving a signal and the screen goes black. Could the graphics card be failing? I'm using an Intel i9 processor with an RTX 3060 Ti.

If your i9 has integrated graphics, try connecting the monitor to the motherboardโ€™s video output instead of the RTX 3060 Ti. If the display works normally that way, the graphics card, its driver, or its power connection may be the problem. Intel models ending in F or KF do not have integrated graphics, so this test will not work with those CPUs.

VelvetHarbor19: Check the exact i9 model number. If it ends in F or KF, it cannot provide video from the motherboard, so youโ€™ll need to troubleshoot the 3060 Ti directly.
