P2213, DisplayPort problem
So I've recently bought myself a P2213 monitor, which I wanted to use as a second monitor for my PC, but for some reason when I'm connecting P2213 to my PC via DisplayPort, only "Entering power save mode" shows up and then it's all black. Also when I'm clicking any button on the monitor, there's a different message that says that there is no signal coming from my PC, the DisplayPort cable works fine on my other monitor so it cant be It's fault, using HDMI-to-DisplayPort cable gives the same results, I can't even see this monitor in Device Manager.
I tried many fixes like turning the monitor off or removing power but nothing seems to work.
What should I do to fix it ?
My video card is GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and the OS I'm using is Windows 10.

@Synethic223 If you’re using an HDMI to DisplayPort cable to connect an HDMI output to a DisplayPort input, which I assume you are since the P2213 doesn’t have an HDMI input, then that very likely isn’t going to work. With VERY few exceptions, those types of cables/adapters are only meant to connect DisplayPort outputs to HDMI inputs, not the other way around. If you’re curious about why that is, I wrote an explainer post here because this comes up a lot.
But if you’re using a regular DP to DP cable and still having trouble, have you confirmed your display is set to the correct input? If so, you mentioned that you know the cable is good because you’ve tried the cable with another display. But have you tried the display’s DP input with another source system to make sure the input is good? As a workaround, you could use an HDMI to DVI cable, which would allow you to connect an HDMI output to the display’s DVI input. That’s a valid cabling setup.
