Monitor won't wake from sleeping

[gvlogs]

I am having the EXACT SAME issue as described in this thread: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Video-Display-and-Touch/Monitor-won-t-wake-from-sleep-mode/td-...

However, I can't follow the solution's instructions because they are outdated.

Please help! I updated BIOS recently and I think it might've caused this. I can sometimes hear electric crackling too.
