The good news is that your video card and monitor seem to be working fine most of the time, but the delayed wake-up issue could be related to a few things. Here’s what might be going on and how you can troubleshoot it:
1.Power Saving Settings:
Sometimes, the delay you’re seeing can be due to the monitor or graphics card taking longer to wake up from sleep mode. Check your power settings:
Go to Control Panel/Power Options and see if your computer is set to put the display or hard drive to sleep after a certain amount of time. Try setting these to “Never” or increasing the time before sleep to see if it helps.
Also, check the monitor’s own settings (usually accessible via the buttons on the monitor) to see if there are any power-saving features that might be causing the delay.
2.Monitor Connection Type:
The issue might also be related to the type of connection between your graphics card and monitor. Are you using HDMI, DisplayPort, or something else? Sometimes, certain ports or cables can cause delays in signal detection:
If you’re using HDMI, try switching to DisplayPort, or vice versa, if possible. Also, try a different cable to rule out any issues with the current one.
3.Test with Another Monitor:
If you have access to another monitor, even temporarily, try connecting it to see if the same issue occurs. This can help you determine if the problem is with the monitor or something on the computer side (like the graphics card).
4.Check for BIOS/UEFI Updates:
Sometimes, motherboard firmware updates can improve compatibility with newer hardware. Check your motherboard manufacturer’s website to see if there’s a BIOS/UEFI update available that might help with wake-up issues.
This kind of problem is usually more about settings or driver compatibility rather than a hardware failure, especially since your system works fine after a reboot. I’d recommend trying the above steps to see if they resolve the issue. Let us know how it goes!
