Hi guys,
Long story short: one morning the DisplayPort stopped working on my machine.
After a long period of shitty displays your guy finally got himself some love - ASUS PA279CV. Superior Color Accuracy 3840x 2160 and all of that.
Everything was beautiful - I had 4k resolution, 60Hz, it was amazing. One evening I chose to put my machine on Sleep instead of shutting it down.
(Yes, that was a mistake. I'm not proud of it, although I have been doing it in the past and everything seemed to be fine. The only annoying thing was that the computer kept waking up at random times and then going back to sleep after anywhere from 30s to 5 minutes.)
So when I woke up the next day and woke the machine back on, it wouldn't give any signal (black screen). After restarting the system several times I plugged the HDMI cable and got the display to work.
Now for a few weeks my monitor has been running at 30Hz and it's really annoying.
Now I don't know if it's my display or the computer and I don't have the ability to check it. I don't have a second display with a DP nor I have a machine that has DP output. The display is less than 3 months old.
I wish you guys could help me find a solution. Maybe there is an easy workaround?
I'm scared of reinstalling the OS because I need this computer for work and when I was setting up this machine, it took me 2-4 weeks to actually have it running. But I'm also tempted to update because living in el cap land is a bit like going to visit your grandma in a retirement home and staying there. Everything becomes obsolete over time.
