Hi all, out of sudden my pc monitor flickering and no signal. it manage to boot in but still keep flickering until the monitor no signal

im guessing is it because of faulty psu? - loud psu fan noise

also, my whole desktop fan seems to be always in full rpm even i adjusted in the bios to be silent mode...

any help?

*i have video on the monitor flickering,but not sure how to share it here

Monitor: Acer Predator XB271hu
GPU: GTX 1080 ti
Connection via dp cable
Try different cable and switch port still the same.
Now I can't even boot coz the monitor is just blank

1) monitor test - Do a simple test by turning on monitor without signal cable ang go into the monitor setting menu, see if still working properly ?
2) PSU test - remove gpu and start computer and check if psu and system fans still run at full rpm ?

1) monitor is working. Connect using laptop and it still functioning well
2) GPU removed and all system fans still run. Still loud but not sure it's full rpm

I tested both dp and HDMI cable on another montior and it's the same no signal. Sometime it works. Sometime just no signal. Sometime it's flickering and then no signal. Sian

How old and make/model of psu ? I suspect a tired psu that can't provide enough juice because monitor is working, the fans are unusual loud and graphics display work occasionally.

Yea I suspect psu too. It's just around 3 years. EVGA 550. Before this the psu emitting clicking sound too. But not really sure so Im asking around if spoilt psu will cause issues like this. Mostly said it's ram / gpu

If psu got warranty try exchanging. if no warranty buy replacement.

If still happens then change gpu
