Monitor dims and turns off and on

Ive had this problem now since 2020 driver. 

The screen dims and is turning it self off and on from time to time.

Ive uploaded a video of what is happening

As you can see in the video after i pull the power cable out and then push it back in the goes from dimed to normal for like 1 second then to super dimmed.

Problem is only with my HDMI monitor

Ive tried adjust the settings in radeon software but with no luck at all.

Not even a reinstalling older drivers works.

Hi there, that sounds like a defective cable. Did you try a different HDMI-cable?

Yea i have tried it but what i just realized is when i take out my hdmi cable out of monitor it stay like this.

So its dimmed and flickering even when its only the power cabel inserted

So now i think that the driver bricked my monitor somehow.

Or its the powercable that happend to break at the exact same time i installed 2020 driver

Defective power cable is also a possibility of course, or loose connectors. At least you ruled out the graphics card and the HDMI cable.

Drivers usually don't brick monitors.
