I was using my PC as normal, browsing, checking emails etc. Then I decided to play a Windows Store game (Mortal Kombat 11), which I have played many times.
The game went through the usual splash screen, but then the screen went completely black. Not off (the power indicator was on - white LED). The game was still running (I could hear the audio until I hit ALT-F4 to close it). Screen stayed 'on' but black so no desktop.
Shut the PC down and powered off the PSU - screen still 'active' (white power light on). Disconnected the Mini DP cable from the GPU. Normally at this point I'd get a message on the screen that there was no input detected/no DP signal, but again just black but 'on' as if it still had an active input. When the PC is asleep/off the monitor goes into standby normally.
Reconnected the DP cable.
Unplugged the monitor, plugged it in again and it came back on. It did the initial power-on thing, said there was no input signal from DP then went into standby as it should (orange light).
Powered on and rebooted PC, all fine again. The game launched without problems.
This has never happened before with any game or other software.
No idea what caused this at all - why would the monitor not go into standby when it had no input to it?
