Monitor dosen't recognize HDMI

[Guest]

Hello, I have encountered a rather strange problem with my monitor.
During a gaming session, my second monitor (Benq EW2420 connected with HDMI to gigabyte 7970) suddently went black.

I have checked that the monitor does indeed work.
I have checked that the hdmi port of my graphics card is not dead
I have checked that the hdmi cable is not broken

Has anyone of you encoutered a similar problem, and most important, does anyone have any further tips in order to troubleshoot what's wrong with my monitor's hdmi port?

Rather stuck at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

well my god! the monitor must have owerheated or something, because I unplugged it and left it for a good half a hour or so, and now it works!

So at least if anyone has a similar problem; proboably overheating, let it rest

It would most likely be overheating, buy a small, low RPM fan and put it somewhere to get fresh air flow
