Was gaming on my computer when suddenly my monitors went black, I heard some beeping, tried refreshing my video drivers and it did nothing, turned PC off and then on and I'm still getting no output, even tried reseating the gpu, nothing. Also my motherboard has some code lit up "9E"

First thing first, have you tried changing your monitor cable, second of all, where did you plug your cable in and 3rd of all, what type of cable you using for your monitor

And why are you using your gpu to go bacn to your cpu?

I use an HDMI cable, I tried using an old 1660 that works and I was able to get into windows, for some reason my motherboard still had the 9E error on its display and the error lights lit up momentarily, but they went away and my PC booted into BIOS with safe mode

Have you swapped it with a spare motherboard?

#

Not yet no

#

I don't think it's the motherboard though, I was able to boot into BIOS and windows just fine with the 1660 installed

Can you go to device manager for me and show me its events for the monitor? Like in properties

I wish I could my luck is so amazing today my electricity went out just now

Oof

#

for me, this is my external monitor on my laptop, on HDMI 2, can you check if you can either update from there (bcuz it scans your driver b4 checking for updates) uninstall and reinstall

i had a similar driver problem bcuz i went to connect my laptop into my monitor's 120Hz port requesting too many frames from my laptop, causing it to entirely black, forced a shutdown and changed the port on my monitor to my 75Hz and its working perfectly fine

It shouldn't be a driver issue because I update my driver's regularly and I'm not on a laptop

#

I'm on my desktop PC I use daily and have never had driver issues like this, I think the GPU is just dead

#

Both monitors I have went black

I'm looking through the Windows event viewer right now

#

The errors here start with some Kernel level error, about an application named dwm.exe faulting

#

Ok so it's just telling me the window manager stopped

#

It tries restarting the process but it stops every time

#

After restarting 8 times I start getting different errors

#

Says: Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container '{E7FD4ACE-EE-11E2-AFDA-000C291BBC07}'

#

This error repeats about 10 times with a different Container
