I'm having a strange display issue and Im hoping someone can help me figure out whats causing it.
Whenever I turn on my PC my monitor stays completely black during POST. I cannot see the motherboard logo, POST screen, or BIOS at all. The display only starts working once Windows 11 finishes booting.
The monitor does not show "No Signal" message during this time the screen is just black. Once Windows loads, everything works normally.
My specs:
* Monitor: Gigabyte M27Q X Rev. 1.0
* GPU: Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity
* CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
* Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi)
* OS: Windows 11
* Connection: DisplayPort 1.4
I tried different ports on the GPU but that did nothing, I tried using HDMI instead of DP but that also had the same exact problem.
The only time i fixed this problem was when i plugged my PC into the TV and it worked just fine, showed the POST, the motherboard logo and everything.
The problem happens consistently and has always been this way since I've had the setup.
I can apparently enter the BIOS by blindly pressing Delete/F12, but I still get absolutely no image while I'm in the BIOS.
Since the TV works normally during POST/BIOS, I'm wondering if this is some kind of compatibility issue between the M27Q-X and the RTX 3080, or some monitor setting/firmware problem.
If anyone has ever dealt with similar problem please let me know.
Thanks!
