If it works, it is definitely the card. I'm in the process of following your suggestion. So far, there was a flicker of black - which would normally turn into one colour on the screen, but in this case it goes back to my regular screen - and I will continue to monitor it for the same issue. It may take some time.Well, I think I've waited long enough. Other than the initial flicker that I talked about in my previous post, nothing has happened. I've opened a lot of different programs to make it ERROR on me (as clicking on a new tab or starting a new program would increase the odds of the solid colour coming upon my monitor) but things SEEM to be fine. I'll probably go to Canada Computers on Monday to see if they can try out my video card so that I have absolute certainty that it is dead, but I'm pretty confident now that I'm on the right track to a solution. In this case, my video card lasted me 4 years. Any recommendations for one with an HDMI that would last longer?The MBoard...PSU...and your budget would decide that. After reading this over again. I did no see where the OP found out i twas not the monitor. Did he verify the monitor? Did I miss that detail? Otherwise he will buy a new motherboard and may not solve the issue. If not, he can borrow a device that will test the monitor. Two such devices are: 1. Google Chrome cast HDMI 2. Roku HDMI Or any device that has HDMI output, some Android tablets have HDMI. IMO, buying any of the above is a good investment. He has yet to clarify if the onboard test was done...and indeed it's the monitor at fault... Stay tuned.Quote from: Mustbe_Aweful on March 30, 2017, 04:12:40 PM Alright, I tried to get into my Sketchbook Pro and both my monitor and my Cintiq went down. The monitor is light blue, whereas my Cintiq is ultramarine. They went down at the exact same time. I used a Cintiq to find out that it's not the monitor.Quote from: Mustbe_Aweful on April 01, 2017, 04:41:46 PM I used a Cintiq to find out that it's not the monitor.How? How can a Cintiq verify a monitor? It is not a video source device. I believe y might be are mistaken. You statement makes for confusion. Did you have three output devices on outputs the same instant of time? Please clarify. You had the Cintiqconnected on the second video port? Does you machine have two video outputs? Three outputs? Does the Cintiq fail to give a nice display when the monitor is NOT connected? You need to verify the monitor is bad by something other than the motherboard. I mentioned a Roku. It works independent from your PC and will provide some clear video presentation. For reference: https://www.roku.com/how-it-works Besides entertainment, it is a quick way for a technician to test a suspect TV or monitor.Quote How? How can a Cintiq verify a monitor? It is not a video source device.They verified it was not the monitor because the Cintiq exhibited the same symptoms when connected as the monitor did. It seems you are the only person confused by this.Also (to OP) regarding a graphics card recommendation- is there anything you need that wouldn't be supplied via the integrated graphics?My Cintiq has a video output. In order to do so, it has a three different ports that connects to the Cintiq: one that connects to a power source, one that is a USB port, and one that is an HDMI port. Seeing as THOUGH I have only one video card with HDMI capabilities, and the monitor is connected to the same video card, then I should be able to find out whether my monitor is having a problem by whether or not my Cintiq has the same problem. If this is dubious logic, that's fair. But my monitor seems to be doing fine without the video card; which at the very least raises my suspicion at what the culprit of my problem is.Quote from: BC_Programmer on April 01, 2017, 08:53:19 PM Also (to OP) regarding a graphics card recommendation- is there anything you need that wouldn't be supplied via the integrated graphics? My Cintiq. I need to have an HDMI port to use it.All the references I can find show the ASRock H97M Pro4 Motherboard as having an HDMI port. It is next to the DVI Display Port, opposite the PS/2 keyboard connector: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51CdNcyZ6QL._SL1000_.jpgQuote from: BC_Programmer on April 01, 2017, 10:13:17 PM All the references I can find show the ASRock H97M Pro4 Motherboard as having an HDMI port. It is next to the DVI Display Port, opposite the PS/2 keyboard connector: Whelp, I feel stupid. I honestly thought I checked the motherboard for that long ago and found it didn't have one. But, this is good in that I can put off buying a video card as backup for a while (unless the motherboard isn't visually satisfactory enough). This may be the end of the line. Unless my Cintiq doesn't work then I think I have thanks to give. THANK you all for your hard work. I'll post again if the problem reoccurs. |
