Monitor on its way out?

omgitsdavie · 7 May 2014 at 12:52

I picked up a iiyama g2773hs in September. These last few days its just been blacking out sporadically, to put it bluntly lol. The power LED remains lit so i don't think its going into standby. I don't think its resetting itself either because the splash screen doesn't appear when it decides to work again. Im not getting any "signal lost" message or anything so am i safe in assuming my brand new 780ti is ok? i bloody hope so anyway :/ lol. There is no pattern to the blackouts, and they range anywhere from a few seconds to 4 or 5 minutes. I've tried all connections, reinstalled drivers and ended up doing a fresh windows install wondering if that would sort it, but still the problem persists.

Any ideas on this or is it time to rma?

Plug something else into the screen to rule the gfx out. That's the extent of the help my knowledge of screens will provide, I'm afraid.

Cable?

I agree with Danny, i'd try plugging something else into it, to rule out your GFX card.

Yeah test it with another computer before ruling the GPU out

Process of elimination, as others have suggested.

Test another monitor and cable with the PC, or vice versa and test the monitor and cable on another PC(or onboard GPU if you have one).

Just an update to this. I tried the monitor on a different machine and still had the same issue so its definitely the monitor that is faulty. Emailed iiyama customer services last night, they called today to say they're delivering a replacement Tuesday and collecting the faulty one. Result!
