Hello guys,
So recently I bought a new dp to dp port cable. When the I turn on my pc it flashes on for a second then flashes off for a second then again flashes on for a second and goes on and on. I personally think that this might be a bad display port cable problem. I can switch the pc off through the power supply alright. The only solution I have found out out is that to remove the display port cable then turn the pc on and plug the dp cable back in. After that everything works butter fine. Hope people can find a better solution to this.
