Hi
I've just purchased an Asus strix XG27WQ in the black Friday price cut - I primarily got it for my PlayStation 5, however I would also like to use it on occasion for my PC. I can get it working partially but after a while it cuts off and stops working until I reset my PC or move the HDMI into my old 1080p monitor.
I have 2 monitors on my desk and my current set up is getting a bit older now, it is as follows:
Windows 10 64bit
As rock Z97X MoBo
AMD R9 280
8GB Ram
i5 4690k
I am having an issue getting my new monitor to work with my PC - Even as a solo use monitor instead of dual screen. I have tried the following (I will concentrate on just getting the 1 monitor to work via the GPU HDMI port):
-Updated AMD drivers
-Disabled Intel graphics adaptor & disabled IGPU in the bios.
-Disable FreeSync in monitor settings
-Tried different HDMI cables (Brand new, work perfectly in older monitor, HDMI cable came with PS5 doesn't work either)
-Toggled settings in the AMD app to see if any of it helps
-Rolled back AMD adaptor to "Microsoft Basic Display Adaptor" - This actually works and the monitor is stable, however I cannot play any games as I have no real drivers installed!
It seems to be an AMD settings conflict, as when enabled and using AMD settings, I can get the PC to start up and get to the desktop and use Chrome to browse but as soon as I open the AMD app to look at the settings, the screen cuts off every time until I have performed a reset.
Does anyone have any more ideas? I'm unsure what could be causing the conflict. I would guess that windows is alternating between intel / AMD graphic settings somewhere but unable to locate the issue.
Thanks!
