I had this weird issues with my setup
>can't control PC when the monitor is off
>No video output when booting BIOS
>random "fake" freeze
It was the fucking HDMI cable.
I realized it was the issue when I got "frozen" screen, I as I was about to reboot, I unpluged a USB device and heard a sound, and I realized the PC was still working normally and it's just the video that's frozen.
I switched the cable and it was working just fine.
Switching back I got the "SAME FROZEN SCREEN" despite the pointer location being changed when I switched the cables

I finally disconnected the cable from both the monitor and the PC let it sit for few seconds, re-connected and it worked, Pretty weird.
Any explanation?
Is there a chip inside that overheat?
I thought only active cables have chips inside?

gentoo does not have this problem.

it might have something to do with freesync/g-sync, drivers itself, power settings, bios, chipset, windows... list goes on...
this is why tech problems suck

When I had an nvidia GPU. My monitor would do the same as OPs, often crashing whatever I was playing or watching at the time.
Same time, every day like clockwork.

God rid of the jensen burner and now I can have a game open for 25 hours if I want.

Well I tested 3 different distros with 3 dofferent DEs.
>Endeavor + KDE
>Debian + Xfce
>Fedora + gnome
Same issue.

How would one troubleshoot these?
