Took me 4 hours to realize my second monitor was plugged into the wrong port

I spent a whole afternoon trying to get my new 27 inch Dell to even show a signal. Checked cables, swapped HDMI cords, reinstalled drivers twice. Finally looked at the back of my PC and saw I had plugged it into the motherboard port instead of the GPU. Felt like a real genius. Has anyone else wasted a half day on something that dumb?

Felt like a real genius" describes my whole process perfectly lol. I did almost the exact same thing with my old build, spent like 3 hours troubleshooting only to realize my main monitor was plugged into the wrong spot the whole time. It's one of those screw ups that makes you just stare at your PC for a solid minute questioning everything.
