Hello, dear humans.

I am having a major issue that i cannot seem to fix with my rig and Dell S2716DG monitor.
My rig specs:

An important thing to know is, my little brother cut up my DisplayPort cable, so I switched to an HDMI until I can get my hand onto a new one.
The issue I am having is: the monitor and pc wont connect. I tried both HDMI ports on the Motherboard and the one on the Graphics card but neither worked. It just goes to power saving mode everytime. Regarding the PC itself, I think everything should work, since all the lights go on and everything, I have also checked if my GPU and RAM are well seated. I am not a tech expert, so I have turned to you people to help me with my issue. All answers and potenital solutions are apreciated.

Thank you for your time and effort.

beganovicdenis., page 30 of your monitor manual may be helpful. Input source is not automatic. You must select it via the monitor menus. Did you change the input source to HDMI on the monitor?
