I'm having an extremely weird problem here, i'll start from the beginning.

I have 2 HDMI ports on my computer, I have both HDMI's going to 2 monitors which, until today, have been working fine. It began a week ago when I woke up, turned my computer on and nothing happened to the monitors, the PC started fine but there wasn't a picture on 1 of of the monitors. So I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers (on the monitor that did work) and then I fiddled with the HDMI cables and whatever happened, the other one worked and that was it for about 1 week. This morning, I woke up, the same exact problem, "Fiddling" with the cables don't work and i've came to the conclusion of this: Only 1 of my 2 HDMI cables works. Here is how I got to that conclusion:

Firstly, I removed the bad cable and tried the good cable (That works) on both HDMI ports on the PC and both works fine, I then tried all ports on my TV, works fine, and all the ports on my other Monitor, absolutely fine. So it's not the problem with the ports or hardware which leads me to ask:

Did I forget something or is it worth buying a new cable?

Thank you.
