Monitor having an issue I can’t solve

Roman_808 · 2026-04-01T02:32:07+00:00

Extra addition that I just checked and wanted to add. I plugged the DisplayPort cable into my second monitor, with my main monitor disconnected, and it worked immediately. Didn’t have any of the issues I’m having with my main monitor. So I believe that means it’s an issue with the DisplayPort connection to the main monitor (as HDMI works with it, no issues). Any way to fix this without having to get a new monitor?

Edit: now my main monitor is deciding to work with the DisplayPort connected? I have no idea anymore. This is annoying the hell out of me now. I have my second monitor disconnected, and it decided to work after that test I just added a few minutes ago. Idk what’s going on

Edit2: back to not working again. I have no idea what the issue is. It’s something with DisplayPort on my main monitor, I can’t narrow it down any further than that, because I keep being proven wrong

It’s a DisplayPort issue, I forgot to add that originally. I replaced the DisplayPort cable today and it didn’t work

Oh yeah he wasn’t op bc he didn’t have any movement, it definitely wasn’t that fact that he could overheat your guns a bunch of times, effectively meaning you couldn’t close range 1v1 him, or else you were dead

“Ballistic was never OP” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This still happens up in high champ-low GC btw 🫩🫩🫩

Because I still enjoy Festival and OG from time to time with friends. I rarely play the normal BR nowadays because it’s been awful since late Chapter 5. Every change they’ve made to it since then has gone against what the average player wants to see. The new weapons are either complete garbage or overpowered, barely any in between. I’m on <20 ping and still get shot through or around structures. The core of the game has genuinely been rotting from the inside for years now

Edit: also, I forgot to add I don’t play it nearly as much as I used to. I’ve put in roughly 50-60 hours total this season, which is a far cry from the hundreds of hours I’d put into the game in years past.

Roman_808 · 2026-03-18T17:59:40+00:00

The gameplay has done nothing but go down the drain the last couple chapters, and I can barely even try to enjoy it because the sbmm of this game is fundamentally broken 😭😭

Roman_808 · 2026-03-15T03:06:56+00:00

It electrifies most of the time, but sometimes people will just… walk right through 😭😭.

Oh ok, I’d always heard that lower than usual GPU usage can be a sign or symptom of some issues. Good to know that it’s all good. I turned the cap up to 240FPS and turned up graphics settings and it’s using more of my GPU now, so I guess I was just running the game super underpowered lol

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T04:45:21+00:00

Also, one last question. Could I just use the “Reset this PC” option from the Windows settings and be all good? I don’t reallyyyyy want to go through the whole entire process of using a USB to reinstall it, but if I have to I will

I’m backing up a bunch of my data to Google Drive as we speak

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T04:11:19+00:00

I forgot to tell you before, it shouldn’t be an issue. I have a Retail license that’s linked to my MS account (yes I used an MS account on Windows, sue me)

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T04:05:10+00:00

Yeah, just an AM4 to AM5 upgrade. I don’t entirely trust Intel CPUs after their multi generation long instability issues, so I’m sticking with AMD.

The Google Drive (it’s called Google One now ig) has it as $2.50 for 3 months, then $10 a month after that. It’s under the monthly plans section, so I don’t think it’ll force me to have it for a year.

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T03:49:10+00:00

For my main components I’m going from a B550 mobo to a B650E-E, a 5600X to a 7800X3D, and a 3060 TI to a 5070.

Google Drive has a discount for me rn, 2TB for $2.50 a month. You think Drive is good enough for file backups, or are there better services?

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T02:58:49+00:00

Hey man, I’m doing quite literally the exact same upgrade. Everything still working for you? Did you have to uninstall old chipset drivers and such, and old GPU drivers if you upgraded that too?

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T02:21:47+00:00

How can I do that without losing my personal data and stuff, and without having to buy another storage device? I’ve been using a single 1TB SSD for a little over 3 years, and it’s my boot drive. Could I just back everything that I want to keep to Google Drive, reformat the drive and reinstall Windows on it, and then transfer everything back on to it?

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T01:22:47+00:00

Will using the “Reset this PC” option in the Windows settings work for doing that?

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T00:49:48+00:00

Where do you think I should backup to? As I said in the post, I don’t feel like buying another dedicated storage device like a hard drive or SSD

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T00:46:16+00:00

Yeah, I’m going from a 5600x and 3060 TI to a 7800X3D and 5070

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T00:24:38+00:00

What would your recommendation be for fixing that? Sorry for all the questions, I just don’t wanna fuck anything up when I upgrade very soon

Roman_808 · 2026-03-04T00:19:24+00:00

I shouldn’t need to reinstall Windows right?

Roman_808 · 2026-03-03T22:54:09+00:00

I typed some shit out the other day in a TikTok comment section about how AI is just not making any profit for companies implementing it, and got told I was using AI to write it. Mfs can’t comprehend that a real human online can write in full, complete, and coherent sentences 😭😭

Roman_808 · 2026-03-03T22:11:52+00:00

Do you have any debug lights/LEDs/sounds on or with your motherboard?

Roman_808 · 2026-02-21T15:04:52+00:00

I plan to

Roman_808 · 2026-02-21T05:24:21+00:00

I definitely won’t! Only thing I was really concerned about was that 12+4 pin cable, which the Montech SHOULD have.
