Hello! Having a real weird problem with my dual monitors. In the past I've had a few patches of weirdness, such as one not turning on, which could usually just be fixed by restarting. I'm totally stumped this time.
Turned on my computer and only the first of two monitors turned on. Got really annoyed and swore a bit. Called the computer some unkind names. Switched the ports of the monitors, monitor 1 works fine wherever it's plugged in, monitor two will not work at all (blank black screen when plugged in, no connection message when unplugged).
Begin thinking maybe monitor two has died or something, so I decide to run through some other options. Can't detect monitor through computer settings or nvidia controls. Go to update nvidia drivers at which point it prompts me to run a java something-or-other to detect my graphics card settings.
Lo and bloody behold, running that seems to make my monitors switch. Suddenly monitor 2 is working, and 1 is not. I don't know how that could possibly cause the switch, but it's the only thing I did at the time. Monitor 1 can now now be detected at all.
I got a new graphics card (gigabyte gtx 660) maybe a month ago but haven't had any problems with it thus far. I'm real confused. Help?
