Dear computer enthusiasts and proffesionals, I have a little issue. Everything with my computer works fine, but, when I shut it down and turn back on, monitor does not work - it just does not receive signal from PC. So screen is on, just no input signal. If I unplug everything from electricity, wait till monitor's status LED turn dark, plug it back on and turn on computer - it works again without any issues. I tried to change display port cable, no difference.

Any advice on how I should detect the problem? Thank you all.

Intel i7 8700k
Corsair DDR4 16GB
MSI GTX 1070
monitor Dell S2716DG
PSU Seasonic 850W

It sounds like your graphics solution is not sending a signal to the monitor to "wake up".

Make sure all cables are securely fastened.

Try a different monitor on this computer, or that monitor on a different computer.

If you don't have a spare monitor, note that most TVs made in the last 10+ years support computer input.

The goal is to isolate the problem to either the computer, or the monitor.
 
Hi,
Try the hdmi port see if the issue remains
1070 is an old card you may need to look closely at the ports for degrading corrosion dust.. and clean them up carefully
 
I tend to use silicone oil on connectors
