PC troubleshooting question


I built this PC during the first quarter of 2019, so it's fairly new. I also usually put it to sleep, and rarely shut it down.

I attempted to "wake" it this morning, but the screens acted as if they were not receiving a signal from the computer. I shut it down and postponed trying to troubleshoot it until returning home this evening.

I just booted up the machine, and it's operating normally.

Question: is the video card on it's way out, or did I just get some random error from the computer running for at least a week since it was last rebooted? I have had zero issues with the display since I built this PC.

Thoughts?

  Guess I should shut it down nightly. -- EDGEMAN 01/10/2021 6:01PM
  Probably 2-3 X a week. ** -- scoop76cs 01/10/2021 6:12PM
