I'm having a weird issue with my Dell Inspiron 5680. I was gaming the other day, and suddenly the screen went black, then the computer restarted. Now, even though the computer powers on and everything looks fine—lights are on, fans are spinning—my monitor is displaying 'no signal.' I'm running Windows 11 and have an AMD Radeon RX580 graphics card. Could this be a graphics card problem? Is there anything I can try to fix it myself?

It sounds like this might be a driver issue, but I’m not entirely sure. Have you tried booting into safe mode to see if the display works then? You could also try reinstalling or updating your graphics drivers if you can get into Windows that way.
Does your Dell Inspiron have onboard graphics as well? If it does, you might want to check if you can swap the cable to the onboard graphics just to see if the issue is actually with the graphics card.
You mentioned everything is connected, but visually check all your connections. Sometimes a loose HDMI cable can cause these problems. Also, if you have another monitor or cable, try those to rule out hardware issues.
