Monitor HP 25mx (4JF31AA)

[EVIgenius]

Hello! My monitor - HP 25mx (4JF31AA) supporting 144Hz. But when this frequency is turned on in games (and indeed any higher than 60), the screen begins to periodically go blank for 2-3 seconds. Videocard - rx580, connected via HDMI 2.0, OS - Windows 10 64b. What could be the problem?

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

• Let's update the Monitor driver from here: https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-value-25-inch-displays/7274920/model/2...

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

I too have a similar issue.  I have a two monitor setup where my 25mx is my secondary monitor.  Whenever I start a full screen session above 60Hz, the screen will go off (I can't even see the OSD) if my mouse takes focus on the 25mx.  If I alt-tab and move my mouse back to my other screen, the video shows again on the 25mx.  

To fix this, I have to go to change the refresh rate to anything: 100, 120, 144 and it works fine again.  It's annoying I have to do this almost everytime.

I had a 24x before I returned it for the 25mx, and it didn't  have this issue.  I am using an Nvidia 1060GT with Displayport and I have the latest monitor drivers.

Hi Echo_Lake,

Thanks for trying to help.

Yes, that's already be done and the same results.

However this is the least of my concerns right now.  It may not be your area, but you should ask one of your colleagues to respond to the BSOD issue that is affecting many HP users right now:

Thanks Echo_Lake,

If you do have further troubleshooting tips for this issue, I'm all ears.

Just weird that if I change the refresh rate, the screen works again and its weird that the screen only blanks out if I give it focus.

Thank you for posting back. 

This could be issue with graphic card I would request you to reach out to our Support and our Support Engineers should be able to check the available service options in order to diagnose the computer physically.

And, also I would suggest performing system factory reset will put the computer back to the original factory settings in this way all corrupted and outdated software will be removed. 

While doing the recovery there is an option to backup your personal files. If you have not previously done one now is a good time. 

Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows )You can also contact HP support for assistance. They can remotely access your system to help alleviate difficulties: www.hp.com/contacthp/

The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system.
