Hey there,
I am so happy with my hackintosh build but I have got extreme problems with my monitors. I hope anyones got an idea what to do. Before I start Don't wonder why I could try so many monitors, I had some of them at home and some of them I have ordered online.
So, I have installed my hackintosh with a simple HDMI Monitor (old model) it all worked out fine in the beginning. Then, I have changed the resolution to a smaller one and suddenly the monitor didn't get a signal. I guess the resolution was too high or too low for my system.
Then I have changed to another Monitor with a DVI connection. This was is working just fine.
So since I thought its all good, I ordered my first 4k Monitor. I have plugged it into my pc, while my system was working. And it got no signal. So I re-started my system and it all worked when starting the pc and the monitor freshly together.
That was the first time, I realised something is not working properly, since I couldn't connect it to my system while it was working. But I thought this is normal back then.
However because this first 4k Monitor had Backlight Bleeding I have bought another one. 4k Model Number. 2. This was working great, but yesterday it lost the signal while I was actively working with my hackintosh. Also, when I turned the monitor off and on, it wasn't getting a signal either.Like the first 4k Model I needed a fresh start with both the monitor and the pc.
So, I plugged in my other one (4k with Backlight Bleed) to check if this one also lose signal while working. And suddenly the new one didn't get a signal at all. After Hackintosh was ready to load the password page, the signal was gone.
This happend yesterday, at the moment I have sent back all monitors since I know I have to solve this problem first. So since every monitor had this problem, no matter if HDMI, Displayport or DVI I guess the monitors are all good. It can not be the cable either.
As far I know, It is software related or my mainboard is not working. So now you know my story, does anyone has got an idea what I could do? Hackintosh is working really good and I am so happy to have it but this monitor thing is really bothering me. I just want know where the problem comes from. Broken Mainboard? Software?
I am ready to buy a GTX 980 Ti cause I think this would solve the problem but I am not sure. However even if it does, I need to know If I have to change my mainboard or my software.
Glad for ANY help, since I am getting crazy over here. Thanks guys!
BTW to not forget the important stuff: I am using an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard with not GPU. I think the other components are not relevant.
