It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where your monitor or TV stays in standby mode when you try to turn on your PC, requiring multiple resets before it functions properly. This can be frustrating, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to address this issue:

Possible Solutions:​

1. Check Cables and Connections:
   • Ensure that the cables between your PC and the monitor/TV are securely connected.
   • Try using different cables to rule out any issues with the current ones.
   []Power Supply and Outlet:
   • Verify that the power outlet is working correctly by plugging in another device.
   • Check the power supply of your PC to ensure it is providing adequate power.
   []Graphics Card:
   • Examine the graphics card in your PC to see if there are any visible issues.
   • Try reseating the graphics card to ensure it is properly connected.
   []BIOS Settings:
   • Check the BIOS settings on your PC to make sure everything is configured correctly.
   • Look for any settings related to power management that might be affecting the display.
   []Driver Updates:
   • Ensure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.
   []Monitor/TV Settings:
   • Check the settings on your monitor/TV to see if there are any power-saving features causing the issue.
   • Disable any energy-saving modes that may be interfering with the display.
   []Hardware Testing:
   • Test the monitor/TV with another device to see if the issue persists.
   • If possible, test your PC with a different monitor/TV to isolate the problem.
