Earlier this year I had a bear of a time getting my MSI GTX1060 to detect my AOC AG271QG properly. I fiddled with multiple driver revisions and settings, but eventually it came out okay and I've been using it ever since. Yesterday, however, I decided to pull my CPU cooler and reapply my thermal paste as I saw temps were getting higher. All went well, but when I turned the box back on, the monitor would no longer detect in Windows. It comes up during BIOS and during the initial load of Windows, but apparently as soon as Windows is about to display the desktop, it dies and says "no signal."
I have a second monitor connected via HDMI through a receiver that also has my speakers through it. That monitor works fine. I've tried uninstalling drivers, cleaning them with DDU via Safe mode, running the card with no HDMI connected to it, powering off the monitor, resetting it to defaults, checking if the card's firmware is up to date (it is), and unplugging the monitor and desktop and letting them sit for a while. Unfortunately I need DP for GSync to function. I've just about run out of ideas aside from selling the card.
