I have tried everything… I have nothing left… please help
All started when I moved my old PC about 7m away from my monitor. I was playing on Gsync monitor via DP 1.4. I change the cable for a longer one (7m) and bam, black screens start to occur.

Since then I got a new monitor and PC - was due for an upgrade. Same problem as before. Tried so many different types of cables to no avail.

What helped was using HDMI cable - same length (7m). Yesterday though I uncapped my fps and first time over HDMI I got the black screen again. So I unplugged my second monitor (even though it was off) and capped my fps 3 below max refresh rate. No issues for 3 hours of gaming.

Then I decided maybe my second monitor being plugged in was the issue or having uncapped fps. So I went back to DP cable (7m) and no issues for about an hour of gaming. I am not totally confident I solved it because I think it may occur again. So if it does I will try an optical DP cable of same length.

I am just running out of ideas. Is it uncapped fps? Cable length? I have also turned off Steam Overlay. I do have MSI Afterburner running an overlay but I doubt it is that as I had that before when my PC was closer to the monitor, and had no issues then.

I need help lol… I really hope the latest changes I made fixes everything, otherwise, I don’t know what to do. I wouldn’t want to put my PC back to its original location as that would be really inconvenient.

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts? Sorry for the long post.

Thank you.
