Problem getting monitor to start up...help needed please

[darrenkarp]

Hi All,

I've a Samsung G5 34" Ultrawide monitor connected, via displayport, to my Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU and have to press the power button on the PC at least 3 times for the monitor to come on and allow me to login to Windows 11 after a shutdown. Any ideas what I need to do to prevent this?

Cheers
Daz

The monitor remains totally blank until I press its small button to turn it off or on then press it again. I then press the power button on the PC and it starts up. Thinking about it, perhaps I should press the monitor button on and off (or off and on) to see if that fixes the issues but the monitor blue LED is on when I try all of this.

I think tonight, I'll power down the monitor, then shut down the PC and see what difference, if any, that makes.
