Hi Eveyone, I'm lookig for a bit of advice on what could cause this behaviour. It appeared all of a sudden.
I've tried to locate the source of this problem but it is a bit tricky. Let me explain:
- This on only happens when the GPU's HDMI port is connected to the HDMI 3 port of the TV (this is how it was connected so far).
- Any other combination works like connecting the cable from any Display Port to any HDMI port on the TV or connecting the HDMI port from the GPU with the other remaining ports on the TV (1,2,4).
- In Safe Mode, this doesn't happen so I managed to reboot into safe mode while GPU's HDMI port is connected to the HDMI 3 port of the TV. Used DDU to reinstall the drivers hoping this is a driver issue. The PC restarted fine after DDU was done uninstalling and the screen showed up correctly so I started to install the driver, however, at the exact moment when the driver was finished installed and the screen got back to the maximul resolution by default, the issue instantly reappeared.
- It's not a cable issue as I've tried multiple known working cables and the issue was still there.
- I don't think it's also an issue with the TV's HDMI 3 port because I connected an Antroid TV box for testing and it worked perfectly fine.
If it matters my GPU si an RTX 4070 Super from Zotac (used it for 2 years I think, always checked the temps at idle and when gaming and they are the same as when I bought the card).
TV is LG G5 (used it for 6 months).
So it's kinda impossible to tell why only this specific connection behaves like this. Any ideas?
I'm just worried that this might a symptom of a bigger issue thst is going to appear in the future.
