    Crash when adjusting monitor refresh rate

    I got a LG 32GK650G-B monitor. Its advertised as being able to do 144Hz, but I cant go above 85Hz. If I do, I get no display, and I cant escape out to revert settings. I have to disconnect the DP cable and replace it with a HDMI cable as well as reboot a couple times to get picture back.

    Any idea what could be causing this? I got drivers for the monitor, and my video card drivers are up to date too. Is the monitor likely faulty? I tried two separate DP cables, and the monitor only came with a HDMI cable.

    Ive gone in there. I cant go over 85, unless i turn on overclock on the monitor. Overclock should only unlock 165Hz, however this ones unlocking 100,120,144 as well.

    I'm gonna just return it, this is too much effort for something that should be plug and play.

    So the know-it-all of BestBuy was telling me that my monitor didnt work beyond 85Hz because I have an AMD and not an Intel processor, and after telling them that my video card is a Nvidia GTX 1080, "G-Sync doesnt work with Radeon", and blaming my "custom build".

    Dudes lucky he didnt get punched in the face for being such a twat. Returning a purchase less than 24 hours later with all pieces intact should not be this much of a hassle.

    The funniest part to me regarding that story is (at least my local best buy) you need to have a college degree in something PC related to work in Geek Squad. Side note I have a 144hz Monoprice monitor that worked out the box with my AMD Ryzen processor and AMD Vega GPU so stick it Best Buy guy! Seriously tho, if I was in your shoes I'd of done the same since it was a local return.
