Yeah, I tried this way. It did not work for some reason. It won’t even display windows any more. I even tried unplugging my display cable and it don’t work. It just keeps on flashing.

That looks like some kind of diagnostic test mode. (Dell has these built into many of their monitors.) What make and model of monitor is it? You might be able to find information about a test mode in the user manual, or by searching online forums.

The monitors brand is AORUS FO27Q3
And I can’t find anything about it in the menu

Seems like that model of monitor is not very reliable. Sure, this is a sample size of two, but still.

[grizzled sphinx]

Yeah I’m starting to realise this monitor is not liable and yeah I tried it few times still didn’t work a thanks for trying to help

From what I know that's also a thing when you use your monitor for an extended period of time

[grizzled sphinx]

The only thing is only three months. I would probably have about 158 hours of use.

[unborn birch]

When you use it, do you use it for a very short time?

[grizzled sphinx]

Probably only 5 to 6 hours when I was using it

[unborn birch]

That explains it

That's your monitor doing its thing

It's normal

[grizzled sphinx]

It’s been happening for a day now

[solid badge]

No it's not normal. At all. Warranty it.

[unborn birch]

Oh...ok, not normal ig

These other guys said their monitor does it and that it's normal

I'm so confused rn
