Bek Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 So as some of you may know, I use a dual monitor setup. However when I woke up this morning, only one monitor was displaying. I've been up all day trying to figure out a solution to this problem. Here's what I've tried:- I've applied updates to all of my drivers.- I've gone into my computer's device manager and rolled back my drivers.- I've gone into my display settings and messed around with the position of the monitors.- I've messed around with the configuration of the cords.- I've reseated my video cards.- I've tried replacing the cords with different ones. - I've gone through the monitor options brought up by pressing the Windows + Shift + P keys. My computer specs Initially I suspected that my video card died, but after opening up my desktop I noticed that both fans were running on my video card. This makes me suspect that it's software error, but I'm not sure what. As far as I can tell, my computer can detect the other monitor, but it doesn't want to display anything. Mmm.. Any help here would be hot. Smoo likes this

Circa Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Have you tried different cables? Tried plugging the faulty one into the other port?

Solution Bek Posted December 16, 2017 Author Solution Posted December 16, 2017 I've fixed it! At 6 in the morning no less. I deleted my old drivers and applied a full windows update to my system which allowed the drivers to update to the lastest version. I swear I did this earlier for both of my cards, but I had the same issues. Funnily enough I wasn't even trying to fix the monitor issue; I was trying to enable crossfire lol. Though I'm still scratching my head as to what prompted my second monitor to just shut off. You'd think Windows would notify me when it was time for a update for drivers. Thanks for all you help guys:@@AshuraDX@@CircaAnd even you @@Caelum Caelum and Circa like this
