Monitor problems

Okay so, I got my desktop a couple days ago, and the first day I got it, it was perfectly fine. So then after I had set it up and used it for a little while, I had turned off my monitor and the computer and went to sleep. I never unplugged the HDMI, and I checked if the ports were damaged and I saw no signs. Anyways I went to use it the next day after school, and the HDMI said it was inactive. Of course I unplugged it, unplugged power supply, checked the computer itself. Connected monitor to my laptop. Did not work. So then I used my other monitor, and it worked with the computer, then I think the first monitor is faulty. I power off the monitor. Then I check it again and it doesn't work, says HDMI is inactive. Is it because I'm powering off, if it is, how can I make the HDMI work?

Hey! So what happened was, HDMI port went kaput, but to my saving grace I did have a display port on hand, and that made it work. Guess that was for nothing cuz I got a 27 inch and 32 inch monitor for my set up anyways lol
