Since everything is still running as it was it sounds similar to
problems with monitors not coming back from sleep.

Couple of questions.  

1.  Are you using the nouveau driver or the nVidia driver for your card?
2.  Are you running GNOME under Wayland or X11?

If you are using X11, and since you can ssh into  the system, what is
the output if you do...

ssh systemB
export DISPLAY=:0
xrandr

Using my system as an example, does doing something like this bring the
monitor back?
