Question / Help My monitor turns black.

[PapoyZ]

My monitor turns black when I even try to testrun my stream in OBS.
Not just the OBS window, cause I get to see the game, in like 0.8 seconds. Then my monitor turns all black, I can still hear my sound playing, but no monitor running, just tells me that it has no connection and shuts off.
This used to happend to games before but now that problem doesnt exist anymore, might have been an nvidia update that fixed it.

So yeah, dont talk about using game capture, because its not a screen problem, its an monitor problem!

Anyone knows whats up?

You said it best man, it's a monitor problem, not OBS. Yet you are on OBS forums.

Go and RMA (Return it) your monitor if you bought it less than 2 years ago, or CHECK the cords. It's probably just the cords.

If it happens ONLY when using OBS, then yes it is a OBS problem, but I'm not sure, it is a OBS problem or monitor problem?

The monitor I have is 2 months old, worked just fine, until the nvidia update, but they updated it again so then it was all good.

But yesterday when I tried to testrun OBS my monitor just shut it self off. Sure, I can try to change the cords.
I'll go buy new cords today after work and see if that fixes it.

The only message I got is that the monitor is not connected and then it turns off, happened 3 times when I was trying to testrun OBS.

So I think(?), since the update from nvidia this is an OBS problem.

You say whats wrong with it the message, the monitor is not connected and then it turns off, aka a CORD Problem. Go buy some new cords and test it out man.

I will go buy bunch of shit, cords, compressed air and such, I'll make this work again.

The reason why I wrote here instead of any other site is because it happend during usage of OBS.
But I'll apologize in advance if OBS wasnt the problem.
And when I find out what the problem was I'll leave it on here.

Thank you Said Wright.

Alright, here we go. I cleaned everything up, changed cables. Now the monitor turned itself off in like 3 seconds and then came back, and thanks to that I can now see this message below.

Anyone knows what this code is?

 

[Soshiim_theGamer]

It might just be your monitor has gotten a short in it. But I know money is not at all easy to come by, unless you have a good income

Fun thing actually, I got an brand new monitor sitting right next to me.
I'll plug that in, try running OBS again, and if that doesnt work I'll unplug the GFX and see if the problem still exist, atleast then we'll know what the problem is.

I'll be back!

 

[Soshiim_theGamer]

Well o right but if that doesn't work either, you might have to look at TomsHardware forums for that. Mainly it would be a display error with your pc

 

[PapoyZ]

Alright, so here's how you fix it:

This aint gonna be a long post about tons of hardware and software, but I'd just like to write some meaningless things to seem smart anyway.
I shut off the MSI gaming app and started OBS with my normal settings, and bam. It worked.

Gg, I'm ashamed.

Thanks to all who helped out anyway, I really appreciate all the support.
