So recently i've had no issues with my monitor or adapter cable, which is what i think and hope is the problem. Everything worked fine, but one day i shut down my PC, and in the morning, tried starting it up. My tower turned on as usual, i could hear the fan running and the lights come on, but my monitor stayed pitch black. I replugged in my monitor coords, then a message came up saying "Digital Power Saving Mode" and then turns black. It's been having this problem ever since and it takes me hours of unplugging and replugging in my coords to somehow work a miracle and my monitor somehow works until i have to turn my PC off again. This is becoming a huge pain and i don't want to spend money on a new monitor unless i know it is the problem. I have already tried hooking it up to my friends monitor and it worked perfectly fine, except one issue. Everytime i try to open a game, it says something about DirectX9.0 not being supported, or my graphics driver not being supported, or failed to find a valid display mode etc. This is also the case with a different adapter cable as well. So i'm wondering if this could be an issue with my tower? Because i've also been having an error with a .dll file error problem that I have posted a seperate thread on. It prevents me from opening certain files like Skype, or my Catalyst Control Center, thus meaning i cannot update my drivers, which i know they are out of date and need to be updated. But could this be the issue, and in order to use a different monitor it needs to update something on my pc, but it isn't able to? I know i may not be explaining things very well, but I don't know much about computers, so any advice or help is appreciated. If you have any questions feel free to ask me and i'll try my best to give u better detail (I know i didn't explain it very well). Thank you

It sounds like you're facing a few issues that could be related to graphics drivers and your monitor setup. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you might address these problems:

Monitor Issues:​

  1. Monitor Connection:
    • Ensure that the monitor's connections are secure both at the monitor and the computer.
    • Try using different ports (if available) on your graphics card or motherboard to connect the monitor.
    []Power Saving Mode:
    • If the monitor displays a "Digital Power Saving Mode," it could indicate issues like incorrect resolution or refresh rate settings.
    • Press keys on your keyboard or use the monitor menu to change settings back to default or adjust resolution and refresh rate.

      Graphics Driver and DirectX:​

    [
    ]Update Graphics Drivers:
    • Download and install the latest graphics drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's website.
    • Visit NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel, depending on the graphics card you have, to get the updated drivers.
    []DirectX Update:
    • Download the latest DirectX runtime installer from the Microsoft website and run the setup to update DirectX on your system.
    [
    ]Display Mode Errors:
    • Set the proper display resolution and refresh rate that is supported by your monitor. Right-click on the desktop, choose "Display settings," then adjust the display settings.

      DLL File Error:​

    []DLL File Fix:
    • Resolving DLL errors often involves restoring or replacing missing or corrupt DLL files.
    • Run a System File Checker (SFC) scan. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type sfc /scannow to fix system file issues.

      Further Troubleshooting:​

    [
    ]Safe Mode:
    • Boot into Safe Mode to see if the issues persist. This can help identify if third-party software or items are causing the problems.
  2. Hardware Check:
    • Consider checking your hardware components like the graphics card, cables, or the monitor itself by testing on a different computer or using a different monitor on your PC. If these steps do not resolve the issues, you may need to consider seeking local technical assistance to diagnose and repair any underlying hardware or software-related problems you are experiencing with DirectX, your graphics drivers, and monitor display issues.
