I have an HP monitor that I use as the primary monitor for both my PC and my PS3. When I turn my PS3 on it automatically switches to it and my PC then switches to my second monitor. The problem is that my PC settings change to only having one monitor. When I turn my PS3 off my PC no longer recognizes my primary monitor. Even on restart my PC continues to ignore it and it doesn't show in the Nvidia control panel. The only way to restore it is turn my PC all the way off and back on again. Anyone know how I can prevent this so that my PC continues to recognize both monitors?

When you turn your PS3 on the HP monitor is automatically selecting the PS3's input. When you turn your PS3 off, the HP monitor is not automatically returning...


When you turn your PS3 on the HP monitor is automatically selecting the PS3's input. When you turn your PS3 off, the HP monitor is not automatically returning to the PC's input.

There should be a button on the monitor to cycle between inputs. Once you return to the PC's input all should return to normal.
