Troubleshooting
No image displayed on the screen.
Ensure the monitor is powered on and the input source is correctly selected. Verify that the display cable (DisplayPort or HDMI) is securely connected to both the monitor and the graphics card. Try a different cable or port if available.
Screen is flickering or showing artifacts.
Check the display cable connection. Ensure graphics drivers are up to date. Try lowering the refresh rate in your system's display settings to see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, test with a different cable.
