So for some reason my computer wouldn't display after a restart. Everything booted up fine and I could hear windows working--if I unplugged something I would hear the doot-de-doot sound and everything. Only my monitor was stuck in power-save mode. I shutdown, restart, checked the cables, opened the case to make sure my GPU fans were spinning, all that good stuff. I was planning on ordering some new display port cables to rule that out before RMA'ing my video card, when I heard a little voice inside me say, "Why don't you try unplugging it for 60 seconds like all those Dell and Comcast customer support people from your youth would tell you to do even though it never ever solved the problem."
Well, for once, it fucking worked! Now, what I'd like to know is, *why* did it work? I can't wrap my head around it. I don't use sleep, hibernation or any of that shit. My bios settings are such that when I shutdown, my pc is off. So why would unplugging it actually change anything?
