Hey guys, I originally posted this in the monitor section but it seems no one knows an answer. I am re-posting here as I know a lot of you guys are gurus but may not delve into the monitors section. I may have to provide a donation of some kind to anyone who can solve this rather annoying problem! (Seriously!)
Hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue which has only started happening with my PC since I purchased an Acer CB280HK 4K monitor recently.
I love the monitor and resolution, and I use Displayport in order to gain the 60hz signal at 4K as required. However, nearly every time I turn the PC on for the first time a day, my PC resets itself after a few moments and gets stuck in a boot loop and will not start up. I have to turn off the power supply switch, unplug the Displayport cable, and then boot it back up with DP disconnected, then plug the Displayport cable back in after I know it's loaded to Windows log in screen.
Just wondering if there's any settings on the monitor, BIOS etc that you know of that I could change to sort this out? It works fine with HDMI on this monitor and my old one - my old one doesn't have a Displayport connection to test that though.
One thing I've noticed since using this monitor/Displayport is that the PHASE LED lights on my mobo are staying on after I turn off the PC for the night. I think this might have something to do with it, possibly with my C states in BIOS, but I have a couple of things I like to charge from USB ports overnight. I guess I could live without that though if it meant this would be fixed! But from what I've seen online, it looks like some weird compatability issue with Displayport and my motherboard and may not be able to be sorted.
I have disabled all overclocking on the CPU and GPU (and I don't overclock my RAM at all), everything is at stock. The BIOS is basically at default settings, except for my hard drives being in RAID. I have also tried disabling the C state that keeps power to the ports when the PC is off, but it still bugs out when I do a cold boot.
My specs are up to date in my sig if it helps any!
Cheers guys,
Adrian
